Reducing DASD Access Contention

CA VM:Backup minimizes DASD access contention between tape streams by grouping the minidisks from a particular physical disk volume on a single tape stream.

To avoid excessively long backup jobs, CA VM:Backup reassigns minidisks from an active tape stream to another that has already completed its work.
