We have purchased a new, even beefier server then our last one.

To make sure it is configured optimally, we want to test how long an
expire inventory runs.  Our biggest server is up to 190G DB and expires
run 40-48hours.

I installed and configured the new server, connecting it to the main, tape
library owning server, which happens to be the one with the big DB.

I have taken the 190G DB and restored it to this new server.

Never having done this, I may be asking stupid question, but want to be
sure I don't do anything irreversible that may effect the production
server.

I want to run an EXPIRE INVENTORY against the restored database, perhaps
numerous times.

Will doing this effect the actual, live data on the production server,
since they see each other?  I was concerned it would try to release tapes
and such.
