Also, it could be better if we could set a certain range like vm only in the range between 1000 and 1999

How would that benefit anyone? As long as the IDs are unique…

[Adekabang]

In my use case, random could be fine as long as in a certain range, but the range helps to map easily like VM for production and development, the other way is to assign the VM with a tag, but needs manually assigned in Proxmox.

Other than that, if I do a temporary migration, I could map the VM back to the original node, since the convoy has not handled migration.
