Subject: Help me convincing IBM please!!!!

Hi *SM-ers!
Please help me with this and take the time to read this request!!!!

We're having serious performance problems with our TSM database. Part of the 
discussion with IBM is how expiration should perform.
A technical document on the TSM website stated that one should be able to 
expire 3.8 million objects per hour. As soon as I referred to this document 
("How to determine when disk tuning is needed") IBM removed it from their 
site!!!!
Expiration runs at a speed of 140.000 objects per hour in my shop an I know for 
sure that some of you are running at 3.8 million or more and I like to prove 
this to IBM.

I'm begging for your help with this. I would like to ask you to issue the 
following SQL statements on your TSM server(s) and send the output directly to 
me: Eric-van.Loon AT klm DOT com:

select activity, cast ((end_time) as date) as "Date" ,(examined/cast
((end_time-start_time) seconds as decimal(18,13)) *3600) "Objects Examined 
Up/Hr" from summary where activity='EXPIRATION' and days (end_time) 
-days(start_time)=0

select pct_utilized, avail_space_mb from db

The first statement calculates your expiration performance (objects/hour) and 
the second one lists your database size and utilization.
Thank you VERY much for sending me your statistics in advance, I REALLY 
appreciate it!!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
