You can only get one data stream per filespace, no matter what the resourceutilization is set to. Take a look at Virtualmountpoint. If your file system has an appropriate directory structure, and can handle the additional IO, this will answer your need.-

RESOURCEUTILIZATION Resourceutilization is a client option used to regulate the level of resources (i.e. number of concurrent sessions) the TSM client and server can use during processing. Multiple sessions are created automatically through a single invocation of a TSM backup/restore or archive/retrieve command. Even though the multi-session function is transparent to the end user and is started automatically, there are some parameters which enable the user to customize the function. There is a way to influence the multi-session function with the option RESOURCEUTILIZATION. This option increases or decreases the ability of the Tivoli Storage Manager client to create multiple sessions. For Backup or Archive the value of RESOURCEUTILIZATION does not directly specify the number of sessions created by the client. However, this setting specifies the level of resources the Tivoli StorageManager server and client can use during backup or archive processing. The higher the value, the more sessions the client can start if it deems necessary. The range for the parameter is from 1 to 10. When the option is not set, which is the default, then only two sessions are created to the server.
