How many jobs are running simultaneously?  What is 'parallelism' set to
on the server?  What is 'target sessions' set to on the drives?

What kind of drives?  What throughput are you seeing on them right now?
What kind of network between the server and the clients?


Basically depending on the total number of clients, their jobs, and the
client parallelism values, the server attempts to launch a number of
sessions.  The maximum number of simultaneous sessions is limited by the
server 'parallelism' value.  Jobs start using a drive and should
multiplex onto the same drive up to the 'target sessions' for the drive.
Once that number is exceeded, another drive should be allocated if
available.
