We use a 3494 library so there's no need for the checklabel option.  There
are four frames with this library...no processes are running yet nothing
appears to be happening on the audit library front?

Size of database has nothing to do with Audit Library.  Audit depends
on the library and how many tapes/slots are in it.  Id you use the
"checklabel=barcode" option  it will only take about a minute or
less in some cases.  If you don't use that option, then it actually
mounts EVERY tape in library and reads magnetic label.  In general you
don't want to do that.  Also shoudl not run even with barcode option if
ANY drives are in use.

Does the size of a TSM database relate to the length in time that an AUDIT
LIBRARY will take to complete?
We have a TSM server running on Solaris software which is around 40GB in
size and have left it running for 3 days and it still failed to complete!
We had to cancel the process.

Any ideas if this is the reason it should take so long?
