That's curious because it resets mine.  I am running v4.1.1.0 of TSM on
AIX.  Maybe it has something to do with what version of TSM you are running.

I run expiration everyday at 5pm but it doesn't seem to reset my bufpool
statistics.  Unless my bufpool statistics are just very low.

The selftunebufpoolsize only adjusts your bufferpool size when you run
expiration.  If you are like us and only run expiration once a week it
isn't much help.  Part of the selftunebufpoolsize process involves
resetting the bufpool statistics, but again this only happens when you run
expiration.
