Our 3494 with 3590K tapes in 3 frames is getting full.  Instead of adding
another frame or upgrading to 3590H or 3592 tapes we are looking into setting
up a bunch of cheap ATA disks as primary storage.

The FILE devclass defines a directory as its destination and JFS2
has a max file system size of 1TB.  Does it mean the largest stgpool
I can define is 1TB?

My Exchange stgpool alone has 8TB of data.  Do I have to split it up
into 8 pieces?

server: TSM 5.2.2.5 on AIX 5.2
database 90GB at 70%
Total backup data - 22TB
