It is not necessary and will not help (you may even lose performance if
several drives are available). TSM server is smart enough and even without
collocation setting each process will migrate data for separate node (to
separate tape). With collocation enabled, when only one node's data is in
the diskpool you will have only one migration process despite the diskpool
settings.

Make the tape pool "collocation enabled" and do a migration on the disk
pool
(update stg diskpool hi=0 low=0).  Also helps to have migration process
set
to 1 for the disk pool.  I don't know if this is necessary or not.
