A quick way is to monitor expiration while it is running with "q process". You can see that objects are being deleted. If it runs during the night then the next day do a "q actlog begind=-1 sea=expiration" and see the summary when it finishes as to how much was deleted.
(Note: The number of objects deleted does not correspond to the number of files deleted/expired). Doing comparisons between nodes and how much tape is used doesn't always even up as we think it might, partially due to how TSM aggreagtes files. etc. David B.

The issue is expiration takes place ,but how do I confirm its working ok. I see files get marked in backup schedule and gets deleted as per parameters ,but still how to verify all goes well? One of the node has more tapes occupied than other even if the data size is same on both nodes on same TSM Server. Balanand Pinni SBC Services Inc.
