standard stuff is to try to spread your database and log volumes across

that copy1 volumes are on. Consider splitting your database to get each

There is no mechanism wherein you can take two physical libraries and
make them into one via software. There is no hardware option to combine
two 3570 libraries into one.
3575 libraries can be configured with something like a dozen 3570

unfortunately it is upto us as TSM admins to manage our mountpoint
utilization. Thus, in the specific situation of clients backing-up straight
to tape, you have to coordinate the scheduling of clients going straight to
tape and control (defeat) automatic uses of tape during those periods.

RESOURCEUTILIZATION may suffice but you might want to setup a few unique
