I recently have discovered (for whatever reason) that my administrative schedules for expire inventory have not been working. When I execute 'q ev expiration type=admin f=d', tsm comes back and gives me a status completion of success, but the execution time is less than one minute. When I execute 'expire inventory' manually from the command line, the job runs continually for several hours. Does this sound anything like the problem you were having? Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas?? Holly L.

Our setup : AIX4.3.3 , TSM 4.1.4.2 , 3575 Auto library. Recently i had a problem with Expire inventory . contacted IBM support (one to many). They suggested to apply fix 4.1.4.2, I have done it. Still expiration problem persists. One fine day my TSM server crashed. I tried to up the server and It never listen to me. Finally , i had to restore most recent backup. But, TSM keep crashing every day at mid night. I asked IBM support to escalate this problem (expiration and corrupted DB pages) to L2/L3, It took weeks time. They suggested me to AUDIT DB with fix=yes. nope. they again come up with UNLOADDB/LOADFORMAT/LOADDB.......after few days....... They asked me to EXPORT/IMPORT all nodes . Even this didnot worked out. After all this, they said its a known bug and asked us to find good copy of DB (which we dont have) or rebuild TSM from scratch. Yes, we have dicided to rebuild from scratch. (no other option) so *SMers, I would like to know more about backupset. i know little about it. can i create a backupset for each node and check out those tapes outside. rebuild TSM from scratch with leftover tapes. Later, check in those tapes having backup sets and make use of them with newly built TSM server. This way i may not loose much data except API related DB2 backups. Guys!!!!!!!! As im not clear on this option , i request you to give me more detailed information about this. Your reply in this regard is highly appriciated. Thanks in advance. Regards Sreekumar.
