Andy, Assuming you are using some level of FICON, your throughput on DMX for full volume dumps will be governed by physical disk contention rather than the channels. The pre-fetch in EMC still works by alternating one disk at a time (m1-m2-m1-m2), or a single disk for RAID-S/5. Alas, there is no striping, and no parallel pre-fetch.
Plan your dumps to minimise physical disk contention and you may get the most out of the FICON.
