Chuck,
Your TSM support person and Alan are saying the same thing - collocation is by 
node, which means it will only put data from one client node on a particular 
tape.  There is not a "collocate-by-platform" option.

Thank you.  I looked into that option, but TSM support
person was telling me that if Colocation was enable,
it would be one node, one tape, would not be able to
put different nodes of one platform on one tape.
