Checkin libvol
was, traditionally, a single-threaded component -- regardless of how many
processes you started;  this will probably not be changed, since most
customers use a single library per TSM server (and the libvol must be
serialized during the checkin process).

BTW, checkin will fail if there are no drives available (even if you request
it to just read the barcodes, without loading a drive with tapes).
