Hello all,

I need u to share your experience about working with collocation.

Lately I have ran some tested that showed that during restore, ADSM performs 
around 14 mounts, which takes ~7 minutes each --> a fact that reflects the 
restore time significantly. 

Now we consider working with collocation. My site contains 150 clients, most of 
the clients r relatively small (q auditocc --> ~10 Gb each), and few clients 
(~20) occupies large volume of storage (q auditocc --> ~120 Gb each)

I read the archive list, and found the discussion about the tape wear while 
working with collocation. The data I wish to know is:

 * During time, does ADSM keeps the data of a client on minimum number of 
tapes, or does the efficiency of the collocation procedure drops down?
 * Does the migration process finishes on time (before new round of backups) 
while collocation is set on. 
 * What is the average amount of tapes that contains one client data.



Any input will be welcomed.



Best Regards,


Shira.
