I think this is going to be extremely impractical. ADSM does not discern
one tape from another. He looks at tapes as a pool which you have no control
over at the volume level (in terms of specific content) without creating a
very impractical number of tape pools which might cause you more grief than
it's worth.

This scheme is more suited to the classical paradigm that encompasses
UNIX dump. ADSM treats its tape volumes as a sealed unit.

Use another product. I have no suggestions, however what it sounds like
is that you are trying to do something that ADSM was not created for.
