2 node Hyper-V cluster: how to spread out VM Guests?

-

setting: 2 windows 2008 server 2 r2 hosts.

suppose we have 8 guest vms want remain highly available.  i think placing 4 guests on each host (proper guest placement respected) better placing 8 on single host. better load balancing perspective hyper-v host failover perspective?

server heavily used tend break faster unused servers, spreading vms out use servers less , if 1 break 4 vms go down until can restarted on other server. if put vms on 1 host host more break , 8 vms wil go down it.

so advice spreading vms out on hosts, keep in mind keep enough spare resources run vms if 1 host breaks.

oclist have qualifiers? can behaviour changed, example output xml?   given previous comments andrew m , comments in forums , blogs think answer no, it’s simple app calling underlying api, thought i'd ask can't seem find anything.   why asking question? i'd @ least 2 things oclist (apart nicer looking output [which i'm not going get], dependances listed [dicussed in forum , ruled out], , refrushing add ad componets , telling use dcpromo [which in banner know]): - whether installing component cuase / require reboot (currently believe qwave , printing services require reboot)   - xml output, can't justify team looking see if can commality with full server   fwiw :j   hi,   oclist not have qualifiers or ways change output. when iis came in late, make oclist output longer, unfortunately late make significant changes.   i'll take feedback , add our list next version.   thanks,   andrew   ...
