Hi *SM'ers, I'm facing a strange problem, in that my DB began to grow at an abnormal rate, a couple of weeks ago. I tried to find out the reason why, and build a query based on the occupancy table, which was counting the number of files found for all existing storage pools. Problem is that I don't find any relation between Db increase and number of files existing on the server, which remains more or less the same. However, questionning the activity log about expiration process shows me that I have more and more objects in the DB, to wit :

(SESSION: 626203, PROCESS: 2998) I'm certain that no modification has been made on our copygroups, no new nodes have been added, and the only notable modifications that have been made where A) Upgrade from TSM server 5.1.6.2 to 5.2.2.1 B) creation of a collocated stgpool for our AIX nodes, which points to the same copypool as the old non collocated one + move of several nodes in the policy domain pointing to this collocated pool and move nodedata from old non collocated stgpool to collocated pool for involved nodes. Does anybody have an explanation for this, as it goes far behind my understanding :-( TIA Arnaud Brion *********************************************************************** Panalpina Management Ltd., Basle, Switzerland, CIT Department Viadukstrasse 42, P.O.
