Good Morning, I'm trying to send backup data directly to tapes with multiple tape streams. I have tried by setting various parameters like resource in dsm.sys , migration processes for tape storage pool but it doesn't use all tape drives at a time. I have 6 filesystems each of 256 Gig and my 3575

Peter, There is no way in AIX to specify software to be installed in specific directory rather than /usr or /usr/lpp. Still you can copy installed software on other filesystems or disks. If you change directory names it works but you have to change all executable file links from /usr/bin director
