All, In reviewing the 4.2 object store enhancements, object stores are defined with region scope. However, there is no way to assign an object store definition to a region. To my way of thinking, we must be able to assign an object store to a region to avoid transfer of large assets across WAN links. Furthermore, it greatly reduces availability of the object store cluster because the management server/ssvm may attempt to connect to an object store over a WAN link when co-located instance is available. Why isn't assignment of an object store to a region supported?
