Is there a reason to set resourceutilization to more than one if a backup
is performing OK?  To put it differently: is "resourceutilization 1"
always a safe value?

You also mentioned setting a value in the COPYPOOL parameter on the
storage pool.  Does that mean that if I use COPYPOOLs that I have to go
through all the TSM nodes and increase their MAXNUMMP by the number of
COPYPOOLs?
