=========================================
Select hosts where instances are launched
=========================================
With the appropriate permissions, you can select which
host instances are launched on and which roles can boot instances
on this host.
#. To select the host where instances are launched, use
the :option:`--availability_zone ZONE:HOST` parameter on the
:command:`nova boot` command.
For example:
.. code-block:: console
$ nova boot --image <uuid> --flavor m1.tiny --key_name test --availability-zone nova:server2
#. To specify which roles can launch an instance on a
specified host, enable the ``create:forced_host`` option in
the ``policy.json`` file. By default, this option is
enabled for only the admin role.
#. To view the list of valid compute hosts, use the
:command:`nova hypervisor-list` command.
.. code-block:: console
$ nova hypervisor-list
