Can you select which gateways are used for certain datasources?

We have 10 nodes in our gateway cluster but one of our datasources fails due to the driver version that exists in 4 out of 10 of the nodes.

 

Is there a way to configure that datasource to only use the nodes that have the correct driver version installed?

No.  We've been complaining about this for a while already, so far without much traction.  Keep your cluster members current with drivers and windows updates.

 

Note:  Check the utilization on your cluster members.  We have found that the number of processor cores is actually more important than memory.  If you have 8 core VMs then you may get away with four cluster members, for example.
