Hi Rick,

I might try collocation first by node (ie. ON) then by filespace - if you have extra 
tapes and capacity. 

Buy as much disk as you can for a disk pool. 

You might try optimizing your database access.

Question:      Is there a way to speed up a restore of a file system with
1000's of small files using TSM.
             We have seen restores of    200-500 mb  file systems which
have 1000's of small files
             taking hours to restore.
                        Is there any options I can change/set to increase
or speed up the restore times on these
                        types of file systems.

Thanks
