<![CDATA[Choosing Which Storage Node To Deploy Images From]]>Hello,

We have one Storage Node server at a separate site than our Main server.

They are both part of the same Storage Group.

How can I force an image deployment to choose one node over the other?

We’ve ran a deploy task on two machines at our Main site, simultaneously. The problem is one of the machines is pulling the image from the remote Storage Node site, causing the deploy to take over an hour for that PC.

I know I could go into the FOG GUI to edit one of the nodes and change the “Max Clients” value to 0, so that it won’t do any unicast, but that seems like a workaround.

At the time of deployment, how can we decide which storage node to pull the image from so that it will always choose the server physically closest to the host?

Thank you
