        I am trying to speed up the time required to backup our primary tape
        stgpool to our secondary site by changing the number of process allowed.
        When I changed MAXPROCESS=2, it kicked off 2 "Backup Storage Pool"
        processes which is what I expected but on the secondary system, the 2
        sessions are both asking for the same volume to be mounted so only one 
is
        actually writing data and the other is just waiting for the tape from 
the
        active process. Obviously this isn't going to help get the data from my
        production system to my backup system any faster. I thought that the
        secondary system would have monuted 2 separate scratches and put them 
both
        in the same virtual volume and filled them both individually. 
Collocation
        is turned off.
        Any idea what is causing this and how I can fix it?
        Thanks,
        John
