Assuming 2 pools, and 8 tape drives - I want to limit the number of 
concurrent drives that any 1 pool can use to 5. I thought setting the 
library max parallelism to 5 would accomplish that for me. But that turns 
out not to be the case. I've re-read about client, server and savegrp 
paralleism, but they all seem to refer to numbers of savesets running at 
the same time. But I want to limit the max number of devices that a pool 
can write to at any one time.; I'm not so worried about the number of 
savesets running at the same time.

I could, of course, assign specific tape drives to specific pools, But I 
thought for sure there was a way to do without hard-coding specific drives 
to specific pools. 

Pointer, anyone?
