We are mostly happy with our upgrade to 6.2.2 on AIX, but keep in mind that
6.2.2 likes to have a lot of CPU so maybe an upgrade to Power7 should be
considered.

Expiration is normally run much quicker in v6 but it varies a lot.
Esepcially after a TSM restart it seems to be slow like DB2 has to warm up
or something and backups have a tendency to hang during the first 24 hours
of operation. I have no explanation for this.
