Sorry for the tardiness.

Keep one other thing in mind:  lots of available scratch tapes.

I am told the collocation goes something like this:

1) put every user on their own tape  (n.users=N) where N is number of tapes
2) run out of tapes? (N+1)  then put the N+1 user on a tape that is list full
     with that particular user.  Keep doubling, tripling, etc as needed.

Also:  for the Novell user (before the next restore) you can do a
       show volumeusage nodeid
           (its one of those secret IBM support commands
            so stand back and watch it run for a long time)

     then do
               move data for all the volumes shown while having
               maxscratch above what's already in use and it will
               move *all* the users on that tape list to their own vols.
