Hi Farren!
If you can hang on for a while, IBM will deliver you a solution. In a future
version (I forgot if it will be 5.2 or 6.1) IBM will implement collocation
groups. You will be able to collocate several nodes on one (or just a few)
tapes.
Keep this in mind before turning off collocation.
Kindest regards,

Subject: Turning collocation off?
Hi All
Running TSM 4.2.2.12 on Sol 2.7 server. At present we use collocation on
the tapes within the TAPEPOOL (i.e. in the 3494 library). We are getting to
a point where the number of available scratch tapes in the lib is getting
small and I'm considering turning collocation off. We always seem to have
about 25-30 tapes that are under 10% used which seems like a large waste of
space.
I understand that collocation speeds things up in the event of a system
restore, but this is something that we rarely (in fact, never in the last
two years) need to do and anyway, the library can handle all the tape
mounts and stuff.
This is all rather long winded, but my question is simple. Are there any
things I should be aware of before setting collocation to NO. i.e., are
there any possible problems I may encounter.
Many thanks
