I suppose you could answer that question by monitoring CPU utilization ( or paging) during the expire / reclamation cycle.
Try the free demo of something like application manager 6 and monitor it for several days and see if there is a spike during those times. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/27/2005 9:07:30 AM >>> I have a question to the group that I hope I can get some answer or pointed to some doc's on. I have to justify buying an AIX 550 over a AIX 520. My argument is, that our Database backups and expire inventories are running longer than they should on our 1 G two cpu 520 running 5.3 AIX. The expire inventory runs for at least 5 to 6 hours and usually has about 700000 items. Our disk for the DB are separate channels raw disk on an I/o chassis. My belief is that those two processes are CPU intensive.. Am I correct? Our DB is about 50 GB. We backup about 230 nodes and about 1.3 TB a night. We are running TSM 5.2.4.
