When going to sequential drives, a single migration process will sequentially
store files on ONE volume until it is filled (or a I/O error occurs on tape)
and then proceed to the next tape. One large (or not so large) file can and
will span multiple volumes if EOT is reached on a tape and the file has not
been completely copied/migrated. I have seen this happen many times (TSM
server 3.7.4.0 is out current).
Thus a file, regardless of size is attempted to be put on as few tapes as
possible. I believe this is the same for collocation, but don't use
collocation here.

Hi all,
I would like to get some help/infos/ideas for better understanding the
performance point of view.
If some clients are backed up into a disk storage pool, the data (files)
from this storage pool will be migrated into the next storage pool (type
sequential for example) if watermarks are reached. During this migration the
files are stored at the end of the chain "storage pool" -- "device class" --
"library" -- "drives" to drives, to all available drives I assume and
"library" -- "drives" to drives, to all available drives I assume and isn't
collocation enabled all files are distibuted over the volumes, but no
single file is spread out over the volumes. This means to me, that one huge
file would be stored to just one drive, even if many drives available,
correct ?
As far as I know about TSM it is different in the TDP for SAP, there I can
stream to different tapes, but what about TDP for Oracle and how can I
manage to get a huge file saved as fast as possible?
many thanks for your help
regards
Michael
