We have a similar issue too. Is collocation of filespaces the only way (besides carving your system up in to multiple nodes) to acheive multiple restore sessions? Will it occur autmatically from a singe dsmc restore or do you need to manually invoke multiple sessions?

If you have a big enough disk pool such that if you did a restore before migration had moved the data, then a multi session restore would use the disk pool and be multi session. David B.

What I have found is that with the maxresourceutilization set to 8 that my 350GB 8 processor AIX client is using only 4 data sessions and 4 control sessions. The data all goes to the disk pool and then the migration will use only 1 tape drive for this data. I then assume a multi session restore is not going to work. 1) how can I get this backup to use more sessions for data transfer? 2) Am I correct in believing that the multi-session restore is out because of the actions of the migration process? MUST this go direct to tape to have multi session backup and RESTORE?
