This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

Use FILE pools instead of DISK pools, the latter have lots of performance bottlenecks. Given reasonably sized files we have no problem migrating 360 MB/s (full drive speed) from spinning disk to tape.
For lots of small files, you might also hit bottlenecks in your DB storage setup. The same is true if you've fallen for the dedup hype (where you're always working on small files due to chunking).
This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
Hello,
True but move data doesn't works volumes in cold cache storage pool.

hi
this is interesting
multiplexing has always been an issue with ibm spectrum protect/tsm/adsm
The migrations process only manage one volume at a time, but as tape media is faster than disk media for sequential read and write, it is difficult to utilize the performance of a tape drive, unless multiplexing is introduced
I remember that we had to run “move volume” instead of plain migration as it was faster
and in that way migrate data faster from a file storage pool to tape
not sure what storage pool you are using?
