>...can I cause TSM to use mulitple drives for a direct-to-tape backup/archive?
Fine-grained Collocation choice and MAXNUMMP are the key factors within a session; and multiple parallel sessions going after subdivisions of file systems also help (again, watch collocation, to avoid waiting on a single tape in use by another session). The Technical Guide redbooks nicely explain the various multi-session elements. Richard Sims, BU
