We've recently deployed 7.1 and our storage person provided 13 volumes to tivoli at 2 to 4tb each. IBM has told us that we should split those into many more small volumes so that when clients connect to start backups they can use multiple sessions to write to storage more efficiently.
I was curious if this is how everyone else is doing things for their diskpools. What I'm wondering is if perhaps we should have looked at this another way since we're copying something from one spot on our san storage to just another spot on our san storage and if this could give us some backup speed increases.
Thanks,
