Duh!

Good point!

I just set the nest pool up for collocation by group, with my trouble-maker in 
a group by itself to see if I could improve the copy process.

And it *just* dawns on me the base source of the problem --

All of the data from the one node ends up on one tape (before I did the 
collocation) because (a) this one node is generating 80% of the archives, and 
(b) the only other nodes that run archives in this time frame target different 
storage pools.

So I need to get the Intel/Vm team to use multiple management classes tied to 
different pools, OR (for us maybe a better fit) run multiple concurrent 
processes and jigger the max file size to get several to run direct to tape.

Thanks, all --

I've got a meeting scheduled for this afternoon to work on this.
