Assigning New VM's to host

POC Scenario is: 3 x ESXi 6.0 hosts in a cluster and one of the hosts has a Nvidia K2 GPU leveraging GRID vGPU technolgy released with version 6.

We are using Citrix Machine creation services to create new Machine catalogs for XenDesktop and we would like the new machines to get created on the ESXi host which has the GPU. The process is failing as sometimes machines are machines are registered on ESXI hosts without GPU.

Tried using VMware cluster rules - however this can only work if the machine is already registered in VMware and not new machines that are not yet created.

I am looking for something like this: Machines starting with "XD-WIN8...." > register and use ESXI"withGPU"

You could create a DRS group with this rule and have a vRO scheduled workflow to search for machine with "XD-WIN8..." names and add them to this group ?
