Hi,

Audit DB is a single threaded slow operation and there are no tricks
besides auditing parts of the DB like ex. Storage. Look at R Sims
Quickfacrs and search for "partial audits".

Subject: [ADSM-L] DB Audit

I am not sure there is an answer for this problem:

We are running a "test" audit before we upgrade our TSM server.  The
audit appears that it will take about 200 hours to complete.  Upgrading
the DB and starting TSM took 15 minutes total.

The software is AIX 5.3 running TSM 5.4.0.0.  The hardware is a p550
with 4GB RAM & DMX3 disks.  The DB is about 120GB on 14 raw volumes; the
log is on a file system.  There are about 240 million objects in the DB.

During the audit the CPU is running mostly in the 10-15% range,
sometimes spiking higher.  The disks are pushing less than 1MBps each.

Is there a trick to make the audit use the available hardware and run
faster?

Thanks,
