Hi, I think you might be running into the same problem we are - our expire command never stops - but we do not see any more expired after about 1 hour.. it examines millions of files - but only expires about 20 or 30 thousand. IBM is lookining into the problem, and we have provided traces, and tried different solutions. Right now we run the command every morning with: expire inventory skipdirs=yes dur=120
TSM: 4.2.1.9 AIX 433 IBM 3494 Library We also have a terrible time with scratch tapes. Some days we have 60 then none.
