Rajesh, I have performed an unload/reload of our AIX TSM server, and recieved the following results:
Reduced database utilization by - 21.2% Reduced used database pages by - 3,114,592 Maximum database reduction increased by - 22,044mb Our TSM production database is 60gb in size. It took 8.5hrs to unload the database, and 4.0hrs to reload the database. Two of the biggest benefits that we saw were a reduction of runtime for Expire Inventory, and the time it took to perform a FULL TSM Database backup.

I have TSM 4.2.1.11 on AIX. Our db is 36GB and is about 79 % full. Any gotchas while doing the unload and loaddb? Any help is appreciated. Rajesh Oak
