      Hi! LOVE XCP-ng, its been the backbone of my little growing VFX studio.

      I have a pool with two identical hosts, each have the same GPUs in the same slots and to the OS the slots have the same ID. Up until this point I have been doing 1 host per pool but decided to try and add more hosts to a pool to take advantage of the pool features. How do I assign a VM to a specific host? I have to manually assign the GPU passthrough so this kind of breaks the "fluidity" of the VM floating between hosts thing. (for example If I assign GPU c1 to a VM and I have two c1's on a pool how do I manage to assign c1 on host 1 and not c1 on host 2?).

      Or maybe I'm not assigning GPUs correctly and there's a better way to manage these types of VMs?
