== Subscription object node placement rule examples

To specify the nodes where OLM deploys the {VirtProductName} Operators, edit the `Subscription` object during {VirtProductName} installation.

Currently, you cannot configure node placement rules for the `Subscription` object by using the web console.

The `Subscription` object does not support the `affinity` node pplacement rule.

== HyperConverged object node placement rule example

To specify the nodes where {VirtProductName} deploys its components, you can edit the `nodePlacement` object in the HyperConverged custom resource (CR) file that you create during {VirtProductName} installation.

[id="hostpathprovisioner-object-node-placement-rules_{context}"]
== HostPathProvisioner object node placement rule example

You can edit the `HostPathProvisioner` object directly or by using the web console.

[WARNING]
====
You must schedule the hostpath provisioner and the {VirtProductName} components on the same nodes. Otherwise, virtualization pods that use the hostpath provisioner cannot run. You cannot run virtual machines.
====

After you deploy a virtual machine (VM) with the hostpath provisioner (HPP) storage class, you can remove the hostpath provisioner pod from the same node by using the node selector. However, you must first revert that change, at least for that specific node, and wait for the pod to run before trying to delete the VM.

You can configure node placement rules by specifying `nodeSelector`, `affinity`, or `tolerations` for the `spec.workload` field of the `HostPathProvisioner` object that you create when you install the hostpath provisioner.
