Hi,

I have to apologize for the confusion.  I was trying to compile some
general guidelines from several notebooks I have developed over the
years and condense it into a simple email.  I did in fact jump stream
from disk volumes to file volumes.  ITSM does not lock the disk volume
as you stated, but it does limit the file volumes to a single
connection.  Again I am sorry if this has caused you any discomfort.

I went to IBM and opened a PMR on this today.  I just got off the phone with support and 
they said that TSM "DOES NOT" put an exclusive lock a disk pool volume for each 
node session that is sending data.  They said that while a size estimate of the data 
being sent is used to allocate an amount of space it is by no means a lock on an entire 
volume unless of course the size estimate is larger than the entire volume itself.

Well, there are some things I specifically know; some whose answers I
know
how to look for; and some which are in situational categories. I do
stay
out of areas where I have no expertise, such as virtual volumes and
SANs.
But in so many questions, it is the information that so many on the List
contribute based upon their own areas of learning that help get answers
so quickly. Kind of like having a giant, networked mind. (Visions of
a weird 1950s sci-fi movie...) I think I honed a lot of skills in the
pre-Internet days, when I had to dig deep for my own answers. (Get the
kids away from the TV and into books.)
