Also make sure you've got either EXPQUIET specified in your server options
file, or specify QUIET=YES on the expire command.

One simple step that definitely improves expiration processing speed is
having enough BUFPOOLSIZE. do a q db f=d and see what the "cache
Hit Pct" is. Ideally is 98 % or better. If much lower, even 90% then
expire
will take longer. Also "Cache Wait Pct" should always be zero.

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.
