Consider the possibility that you are not expiring well enough, which could be causing database bloat. (Not to mention tape storage pool bloat.) How long does your expiration process take? Does it seem to never end? If so, you may be in an expiration bound death spiral.
If you are having trouble with expiration as it is, you are in no position to take on an additional large client system, as was the start of this thread. Dramatically lengthening expiration process run times are a true sign that a TSM server is out of gas, and needs an upgrade just for its present workload, not to mention adding more work to it.
