I have a question to the group that I hope I can get some answer or pointed to some doc's on. I have to justify buying an AIX 550 over a AIX 520. My argument is, that our Database backups and expire inventories are running longer than they should on our 1 G two cpu 520 running 5.3 AIX. The expire

I suspect your problem is more of a disk porblem. Whether actual disks you are using or the arrangement. Expire inventory is faster the faster you get your disks and also check q db f=d and see if cache Hit Pct is around 99%. If it is lower, then increase the size of Buffer Pool to get cache hit
