Hi,

the solution doesn't sound like a TSM solution. One solution is to put half of 
each disk storage pool on each array.
You will probably have to drop and recreate each storage pool.

Although, you might be better off, unless you really need all that space, to 
drop both RAID 5 arrays and make one large RAID 0 array. RAID 5 is terrible for 
writing. Having said that I would take into consideration how many disks, how 
many adapters and now much space you need.

Have you checked to see if you are saturating the array? (use iostat on Unix).

Reply with more information if you would like some more help.

I have 2 raid-5 sets with 1 volume of a storage pool sitting on each raid
set.  I am noticing that when I backup that I don't write to both volumes
all the time in parellel.  My network through put isn't limiting me.  Is
there any way to force tsm to write to both volumes in a storage pool at the
same time.  Effectively doubling my through put.

Thanks
