As I said this was a test to see how long it will take and to see if there is anything that needs fixing. The audit failed after 18 hours. Since we cannot be down for 10 days, the full audit is eliminated. We do have to run the diskstorage audit to fix a known problem. We will see how long this will take.

Structural problems and inconsistencies in any database system can be much more complex than a vanilla utility can properly deal with. If you have reason to believe that your TSM database has problems, contact TSM Support for assistance in dealing with them: do not attempt amateur surgery. The data represented in the database does not belong to you, and its owners put it there with the full expectation that you would fully safeguard it until they need it. Database problems often result from not following TSM recommendations for mirroring and proper server operation, so assure that procedures are as they should be, first. If your database does not exhibit any problems, don't monkey with it. Richard Sims This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
