Eric;  It does not follow that turning off collocation would be wise if
your nodes are using one tape each.  In fact, this is the desireable result
of using collocation.  If you turn off collocation, you will find your node
data spread across a bunch of tapes.

This is correct.  One disk storage pool cannot be used to feed multiple
sequential storage pools.  You need a separate disk pool for each
sequential pool.
