I remember at one time, that online DB reorg was on the list of TSM

come out?  We badly need a reorg.  We split our TSM to two instances,
by
creating a new instance and doing full backups to it, and deleting the
old stuff out of the original instance, but the database shrunk
negligibly, so I think we need a reorg.  Again, but, we have Legato
Disk
Extender users who don't wish for us to be down for an extended period
doing a reorg.  Thanks  for any information.

database fragmentation is a fact of life. You learn to live with it. I
once wrote a sql query that calculates the fragmentation of the db,
iirc (Eric are you listening?). The upside is, that once you've scaled
your system to operate properly with the more fragmented db, you never
need to worry about downtime for a dbunload/dbload again....

(yes my db is spread across 5 raid-1 volumes....)
