We are backing up to disk pool on an SP2 AIX verson 4.2.1.0 with ADSM
client 3.1.20.3 and server 3.1.1.1on the same machine.  Migration to a 3494
tape library uses only one tape drive, eventhough there are 4 available and
the mount limit is set to 4.  I understand this is because there is only
one client node registered to this server.  Is there a way around this?  We
would like the migration process to use all 4 drives.  The client backs up
via several sessions based on filespace, so we are thinking of using
virtual nodename option in the command line to give adsm the illusion of
many nodes and therefore the ability to run several migrations.  We have
set the number of migration processes to 4.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or similar experience? Thank you.
