Well,
The reason I ran audit this time was some weird behavior of server.
Evidently I found a file space "disappeared". But if was visible only if
you query it with '*' in pattern. And you can't restore single file from
that filespace, but only whole filespace. 
I am pretty confident that it was ok couple month ago. So when I removed
that filespace from server all those files appeared as a part of root
filesystem. Now I can query them without "*". I was not sure how many
such defects I had and run audit. Half year ago when I did audit, it
took me 2.5 days, I ran it over weekends and it was acceptable, This
time it lasted for 5 days, so half week company did not have any backup,
oracle guys started screaming, because their backups eated almost all
available diskspace. So in future I don't expect it to work faster, or
having some kind of audit that you can run online, together with backup
and reclamation. Simply I am trying to be proactive.
Of cause here is always option to get better computer, but I don't
believe that all of you are running your backups on the best computers
in you company:)

Yury,

Not a problem running multiple instances of ITSM server on a single
system.  I have worked on machines with 4 ITSM servers on a single AIX
system.

Now the real question is why are you doing an audit db?  This is not a
command that should be run casually.  You should only be running that
when you absolutely have to.  A 50 GB db although it is large it is not
unusual nor unmanageable.  You might want to give us some more of your
reasons for doing an audit db as well as why you want to split the ITSM
server.  With more information we can give you some better informed
answers.
