Hi Steve.

Check to make sure that the node has backdel=yes specified.  I had one
SQL server that was on a legal hold for 4 years and the restore screen
took that long to come up because of the large number of objects.  If
backdel is set to no, the logs won't be getting deleted and that may
account for the large number of objects you are seeing.

Regards

Our DBA's are complaining that when they have to use the TDP gui to restore older 
databases by selecting "active/inactive", it sometimes takes 20+ minutes for 
the list of databases to refresh.

My first suspicion was that the meta data had somehow gotten off to tape, but I 
have confirmed the primary data is all on disk (ST03_DISK_P04), only copypool 
(ST03_TAPE_C04) is on tape.

Any ideas what would cause this behavior?
