Hello,
I have installed lastest Essex version on 2 nodes. One controller node (nova-compute/nova-network/nova-api/nova-volume) and the other one is compute node (nova-compute/nova-api/nova-network) in flatDHCP mode.

I am able to launch VMs and associate private/floating ips and also ping and ssh to the VMs.

My controller node is on one network (16.78.*)  and my compute node is another network (16.89.*). So, i created 2 pools of floating ips, one for each network (so that I could associate guest VMs  appropriately based on the host they are launched on).
From the dashboard, i launched a VM. It was successful and showed the private ip address. But, the UI does not show on which node it was launched on. Without this information, I am not able allocate/associate the floating ip from appropriate pool. I have to go to the command line and run euca-describe-instances to check where it was launched and then, come back to dashboard to choose the floating ip from appropriate pool.

Is there a way on the horizon dashboard to find which host the guest VM actually got launched on? 

Thanks,
-Jay
