Hi, as Demetrius said, its the migpr-Parameter that you can set with your migration. The mountlimit is a parameter in the devclasses-table. You can after setting mountlimit to "drives" just initiate migration by saying "upd stg <yourstoragepool> hi=0 lo=0 migpr=4" and if there are date from more than 4 clients that should store their data on different tapes (collocation=yes) in that pool, 4 processes should start.
