      Be aware that turning collocation off will cause the partially empty
tapes to be merged into as few as possible. This will happen at the first
storage pool
      reclamation after collocation is turned off. Hence that number of
free tapes required in the storage pool will increase.

      Also to get around the files being scattered across numerous tapes
you may wish to consider using a selective backup once a week for normal
      tsm backups. This will reduce the spread of files across tapes when
you need to restore.

Many Thanks,

Andrew Young

Are there more nodes/filespaces defined using that stgpool?
Maybe you want to switch off collocation for that stgpool.

Cant really say beyond that as you have supplied little extra info.

Cheers, Suad
