Having a fewer number of storage pools makes managing the TSM server a
bit easier from a sys admin standpoint.

I know this has been discussed somewhat recently so I thought I'd see if
anyone who might have changed and gone this route has any comments.

I've been thinking about combining 3-4 disk/tape pools into one. I
thought I
might get better usage of the disk as a whole, instead of some being 30%
full and others overflowing and having to dump to tape during the
backups.
If you've had any good or bad experience with this could you pass it on
please?

I would guess from time to time I could "move data" to get the tapes to
all
combine. I also think that after time it would all migrate on its own
through reclamation right?

I have co-location on for the onsite tape pools only.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
