    Using custom properties to create placement rules

    If you create a new custom property such as “Cost Center”, and you apply that property to both VM and Host objects, you can configure VMM to ensure that the property is used to guide Intelligent Placement’s decisions. Let’s suppose that you only want VMs to be placed on hosts with a matching “Cost Center” value.

    Add the “Cost Center” custom property.
    Associate it with VMs, Hosts and VMTemplates.
    Fill in the Cost Center value for all hosts in a specific host group
    Fill in the Cost Center for all VMs in that host group
    Fill in the Cost Center for all VM Templates that may be deployed to that host group.
    In the host group properties, choose “Custom Placement Rules”. Add a new entry that “Cost Center” has a rule that it “Must Match”.
