If colocation is causing this problem it might help to reduce the
maximum scratch value for the storage pool. ADSM will then start
using the filling tapes for multiple nodes.

look into "filling" tapes... "q vol stg=xxxxx status=filling" if
collocation is turned on there will be as many "filling" tapes as there are
nodes (if scratch tapes are available). You might have been behind and
those 110 you put in are all now filling with only 0.1%.
