Need option to change the priority of allocation and freeing of resources in ROHA

Current ROHA does not have a functionality to change the resource allocation priority
Current resource allocation order is:
Unused resource of machine free pool -> Mobile CoD
Need option to change the priority to:
Mobile CoD -> Unused resource of machine free pool
The lack of this option is causing the problem R3A-G5-55316,69F,760.
There is some workaround of this problem as follows, but the customer denied these workaround,
since they don't want to introduce any additional operational procedure in their HA cluster operation.
1. Start the LPARs on all systems before you start the Clusters
2. Else adjust the resources (dynamically) manually to start any new LPARs as required.
