Do you have ny problem child nodes?  Nodes that are always doing lots of
restores?  You could move them to file devices.

Bright minds,

If you are given 20T of disk space, how would you use it in TSM 5.3
environment in context of speeding up restores?
1. Would you create large disk pools with CACHE=y or..
2. Would you create disk pools sized to accommodate routine
incrementals only with the rest of the space dedicated to devc=FILE
stgpools for staging? (i.e. building a hierarchy such as disk -> file
-> tape)
