Hi
For example I have two storage pools A and B with:
A with nodes=12 maxscratch=4 collocate=yes
B with nodes=10 maxscratch=3 collocate=no
My question is about the order of filling the tapes. As I understand

No.
With collocate you put a maximum of 1 node on 1 tape, so A is not possible,
the 5th node does not have a scratchtape to use.
With collocate every node have's a own set of tape(s), so you need less
mounts when you restore, so the restores are faster. However, the migration
and reclamation
Your assumption was correct...Collocate will attempt to place every new node onto a
different scratch tape. If the tapepool is at max it will then use existing tapes
defined within the pool.

A suggestion:
When you back up the current copy of the ADSM data base, make a copy of the
