Hi Bill

With Collocation on, we had one small problem with the DB2 API.

We backup our DB2 databases with multiple sessions.  If the DB2 backup is
directed to tape, the backup can only occur single session, because the
second sessions sits waiting on the tape being used by the first session.

Cheers
Troy Tudor

Hi TSM'ers

      Has anybody out there gone from 3 years of nocollocation and then
changed to collocation for better restores.  We are currently at 2-3+ TB of
info on 540 tapes (this is all in our 1 TAPEPOOL).  We have about 410
scratch tapes and the uppers are worried about making the global switch to
collocate will cause TSM to crash due to no scratch tapes.  Also if there
are any other gotcha's I would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe even send
you, some of our greatest pizza haha.

Thank You,
