In the scenario I described below, collocation was turned off because of
the large amount of nodes the server supports.   

The 86 tapemounts were the mounts from only the 26 tapes the data was
on.  

ADSM writes everything to tape sequentially, and also looks for it in
that manner when it restores.  If you have data on 5 tapes, it might
mount tape0, retrieve the info from that, then put in tape 2, retrieve
info from that, and then realize that it has more data on tape 0, mount
that again, and so on.  I see it all of the time.  As I said, UGH!
