Yes, that's the way to do it.  I would also define another non-collocated
tape storage pool and point the original pool at that one and set the
migration threshold to 98%.  That way, if your first pool gets close to
filling, TSM will consume a scratch tape in the new pool and keep on going
avoiding the dreaded server out of data storage space.  When you detect that
this has happened you can simply issue a move data on the volume in the
second pool: move data secondpoolvolume stg=firstpool, to get it back in the
correct pool.

Set N to the maximum number of tapes you want consumed by this pool in the
library.

Then, contemplate getting a bigger library! ;')
