Problem:   TSM doesn't have enough time during the day to drain all of the

Sounds like you are using collocation and the tail end of migration
is slowing down from so many tape mounts.  Another site I am aware of
addressed this by switching the "nextstg" pool to a non-collocated
stgpool after the utilization fell below a certain point.  This
allowed them to "clear the sludge out" of the disk pool more
efficiently.  Compromise solution, but it worked for them.
