Copying VHDs onto a CSV Disk? Use the Coordinator Node!

The beauty of CSV is that because all nodes can access the CSV volume, you can open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\ClusterStorage from any node to see the VHD file.  So now you are ready to copy multiple VHDs to CSV volumes in your cluster.  If you are deploying many cloned VHDs, you may be doing this operation many times and copying hundreds or thousands of GB of data.  But, should you do that from any node?  Did you consider that the choice might make a difference in how long the operation can take?
