I would appreciate it if someone would explain to a rookie how ADSM
handles requests for tape drives. Specifically:

(1) If collocation is turned off, can multiple clients backup data
     simultaneuosly to the same volume? Or are requests from multiple
     clients queued up and handled one at a time as a drive becomes
     available?

(2) If I only have 2 drives available, and reclamation is running, what
     happens if a backup or restore request comes in?
    Same question but what if both drives are doing a stgpool backup?

                                                        Thanks for any info!
