I have recently changed my 3 TSM instances to use a collocated copypool in a
direct attached silo offsite.  What I am seeing, is that TSM appears to be
using more tapes than it needs to.  I have may 10 -15 tapes every day that
have may .2% utilization, but if I move that data, it doesn't mount a
scratch tape, it mounts an existing tape to move the data to.  Is there
anything obvious that I could me missing before I delve into this further?
Thanks alot.
