Ability to adjust the desirability of a host within a host group, so new lpar deployments would always go to other hosts first until there is no other valid target host.

The ability to keep a hot-spare in the host group so that it's available in the event of the failure of another host and for maintenance.   T

he way it is now, we either have to LPM anymore  lpars that land there, put into maintenance mode, or remove the host from the host group until needed.  These negate the ability of automated remote restart.
