You're seeing the same issue I've seen. Q OCCUP values for SystemState seem to have no relationship to the number that are eventually deleted.
The value on Q OCCUP is always much lower than what is reported in Q PRO. And, deleting system state takes a LONG time. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> On Behalf Of Zoltan Forray Sent: Monday, February 25, 2019 1:05 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Bottomless pit EXTERNAL: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Now I am going through and deleted the Systemstate filesystems. Since I wanted to see how many objects would be deleted, I did a "Q OCCUPANCY" and preserved the file count numbers for all Windows nodes on this server. For 4-nodes, the delete of their systemstate filespaces has been running for 5-hours. A "Q PROC" shows: 2019-02-25 08:52:05 Deleting file space ORION-POLL-WEST\SystemState\NULL\System State\SystemState (fsId=1) (backup data) for node ORION-POLL-WEST: *105,511,859 objects deleted*. Considering the occupancy for this node was *~5-Million objects*, how has it deleted *105-Million* objects (and counting). The other 3-nodes in question are also up to *>100-Million objects deleted* and none of them had more than *6M objects* in occupancy? At this rate, the deleting objects count for 4-nodes systemstate will exceed 50% of the total occupancy objects on this server that houses the backups for* 263-nodes*? I vaguely remember some bug/APAR about systemstate backups being large/slow/causing performance problems with expiration but these nodes client levels are fairly current (8.1.0.2 - staying below the 8.1.2/SSL/TLS enforcement levels) and the ISP server is 7.1.7.400. All of these are Windows 2016, if that matters. -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
