Hi Yes, you probably do.
However, the impact of the unload is smaller than you might expect. Directly after the unload, you're database will shrink with 30-40%. However, the following days after a unload you will see that the database will quickly go up in utilization again. I'd expect you can earn about 10-20% with a database thats 3 years old. The unload we made brought the database down from 160GB to 80. However, 3 months later, we're up at 110GB.

I thought in previous discussions that Unload/Reload had minimal impact on utilization. I have (2) TSM 5.2.2 servers on AIX with 40GB db's that are 90% used. I haven't done a unload/reload since there creation 3 years ago...do I have an opportunity here?
