You can update the storage pool for more migration processes. Example:
UPD STG poolname MIGPR=6
Is the command you would issue to use all 6 drives.

Subject: Utilizing All My drives
Hello TSM'rs,
I have a question. Here's my senario, We backup to disk. Then
Copy/Migrate to tape once the backups complete.
I have 6 3590B drives. When my copy/migration from disk to tape is
running, I only see about
two tapes being mounted, thus I'm only using two out of my 6 drives. I
have increaded the number
MAXPROC to 2, and noticed a considerable change in copy and migration
time.
My question is 1) What is the max number of proc I can assign with 6
drives?
2) Is there something esle I should also be doing to utilize more
drives?
your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-bassam
