To all, It appears that I have solved this problem. The issue was that the "expire inventory" command was not running to completion. It was being run with a duration parameter which did not allow it to complete the expire inventory of all nodes.

I ran this command and it ran successfully and provided me with a list of totals. However they are a lot higher than what is reported by my query auditocc command. Does it total just the primary storage or all storage pools? I am just interested in primary storage to keep track of storage used as we have the unified terabyte licensing for TSM.

However knowing the size of the databases on that server and the number of copies of each backup we keep, I believe that to be incorrect. I started the DP for SQL client on that server, clicked on Restore Data, and then selected all backups (both active and inactive). I then added up the size of each backup (both active and inactive) and it added up to 2.2Tb. How could there be such a huge difference between each total?
