Deploy VM on specific host from PowerVC Northbound API

Without specified target host, PowerVC try to match the network id to the Host with same network id. If there is multiple Hosts has the same network(to support LPM), PowerVC will try deploy based on IP range. It failed if IP range does not match, but it does recover and move to the next host until it found matched IP range, and get VM deployed. This take a long time to finish single VM deployment.

It is better to support deployment with specific host

    Thank you for your suggestion - Target host deployment is support in PowerVC, you can always select your target host on your own and supply that with deploy. If this is not working for you please open support ticket.
