Hello Andy,
it´s a fact that audits are painfully slow ... - some weeks ago my tsm
productive DB 30GB DB-Size on a p570
and a DS8100 (AIX 5.3/TSM 5.4.1.2) needed an audit - 12 hours later
the
audit was done !! So I think the audit process doesn´t care about fast
hardware .. maybe you find the pages on
http://www.lascon.co.uk/d005106.htm#dbaud
useful - here are some facts and calculating examples described..
While well-intended, that Web page fails to advise the uninitiated
that performing a Fix=Yes audit to correct database problems without
TSM Support direction can result in worse problems, including data
loss. Structural problems and inconsistencies in any database system
can be much more complex than a vanilla utility can properly deal
with. If you have reason to believe that your TSM database has
problems, contact TSM Support for assistance in dealing with them: do
not attempt amateur surgery. The data represented in the database
does not belong to you, and its owners put it there with the full
expectation that you would fully safeguard it until they need it.
Database problems often result from not following TSM recommendations
for mirroring and proper server operation, so assure that procedures
are as they should be, first. If your database does not exhibit any
problems, don't monkey with it.
