I had that problem with expiration - my mail server kept pinning the process - When it finally ran to completion it took 4-5 days, and expired 16M files.
Good luck!

One of the oddities is that once we clear the sessions, and do an incremental db backup, the log utilization doesn't drop until we issue an expire inventory command. Running an expire inventory drives log utilization up at an extremely high rate on this server, consequently expiration has not completed on this server in a very long time. I'm shutting down all other activity on the server over a 24 hour period this weekend to see if we can force a full expiration and hopefully that will alleviate the symptoms a bit. -----Original Message----- From: Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 6:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Expire inventory (or audit license) hangs migrations and back ups Hi Tom! I have seen this too a few days ago on my AIX server, running TSM 4.2.2.0. It looks like some kind of deadlock on a logpage. You will see that the expire inventory is just hanging and that one of your backup sessions is hanging too. You don't have to recycle the server though. As soon as you cancel the hanging client session, the expire inventory process continues. I haven't seen an APAR or fix for it, but since Tivoli implemented a the command SHOW LOGPINNED in 4.2.2.1 I think it's a known problem.

Some client backup sessions and all processes (migrations including audit or expire itself) are freezed, otherwise administration is possible. After recycling TSM server all gone OK. My question: Is there some restrictions to simultaneous running of expire inventory (or audit license) and migrations (or client backups)? Is it posible that these two precesses can definitely hangs all other server work? The system that I mentioned is relatively high-loaded and there is hard to avoid collisions with backups. Any help will be appreciated.
