The flag (of type list) you can use is "--least_cost_functions"
Multiple algorithms can be specified, the default one is "compute_fill_first_cost_fn" which gives priority to the compute host (XenServer/ESX etc.) with more free RAM.

Is there a flag in nova.conf that permits we configure that? In documentation we can see that exists some algorithms used by scheduler. But, I don't know how to choose that one best fit our requirements.

Thanks!

       This is where the flag is defined in nova.scheduler.least_cost.py<http://nova.scheduler.least_cost.py/>:

 32 FLAGS = flags.FLAGS
 33 flags.DEFINE_list('least_cost_functions',
 34         ['nova.scheduler.least_cost.compute_fill_first_cost_fn'],
 35         'Which cost functions the LeastCostScheduler should use.')

       Since the default weighting function is 'compute_fill_first_cost_fn', which, as its name suggests, chooses hosts so as to fill up one host as much as possible before selecting another, the pattern you're seeing is expected. If you change that flag to 'nova.scheduler.noop_cost_fn', you should see the hosts selected randomly. The idea is that you can create your own weighting functions that will select potential hosts in a way that best fits your needs.
