Setting Video MCU pool order

The Video MCU pool list displays logical groupings of IBM® Sametime® Video MCU servers that are defined on the IBM Sametime Video Manager Server. A pool can group Video MCU servers based on location, capability, or another factor. Use pool orders to preferentially route conferences to specific Video MCU servers by defining the order of preference in which pools are used. The pools to which a Video MCU server belongs, and the defined pool order, determine which Video MCU is used to host a conference that is managed by the associated Video Manager.
