Our database had grown to 15gb until about a month ago when we split ADSM
into 2 separate servers. We also cut back on the number of  backup versions
from 8 to 5 and started cleaning up some other misc. garbage in the
database. We are still in the process of exporting nodes from the old server
and importing to the new one for balancing the workload. Right now one data
base is 9gb & the other is 4 gigabytes. We are MVS 5.2.2 and ADSM 2.1.0.10.
