I'm using vSphere 5.0U2 thru vSphere Web Client 5.5.
When I create a VM, I specify one of the host in a cluster as the Compute resource. However, when I power on the VM, it is using another host. How can I set the VM to only use a specific host in the cluster?
Use the DRS -> Virtual Machine Options to disable the automation level for the VM. That will effectively anchor it to that host. You could also put the VM on local storage or attach it to a resource (DVD-ROM) on that host too, but the DRS route is the best way to go.

You can also use DRS VM-Host affinity rule, refer below link.
