This is one of those requests that makes me think there might be something going on that you should be talking to support about. It is not normal to need 10 hours of garbage collection.
The command line commands to control the maintenance scheduler are intended for internal use only. I would strongly recommend working with support. If you have an SR open already, can you e-mail the SR number to me? I would like to review the notes. You can reach me at firstname.lastname at emc.com.
ianderson we already have at least one SR open for this--I'll send you the number. Due to NDMP backups (which were running from 3pm to 9am) GC is only running for a about 4 hours leaving us with a net decrease in available storage day by day. The plan is to "catch up" GC on Sunday by having some cron job kick off a manual GC. @Kevin, I tried your command but it didn't seem to work (ERROR: avmaint: sched: no such command). In the meantime, we're just going to manually kick it off via the GUI.
