Hi all,

I'm a bit confused, so I was hoping maybe the list could help.

When I read the help on def stg/upd stg for the Maxsi parameter it mentionses
two things:

1- It's the size of the physical file (aggregate)
2- it's the size of the file before compression if compression is used.

Now during backup I can inmagine that 2 is being used, but during
migration/backup stg/whatever I can only inmagine TSM using the size of the
aggregate or the size of the file on the filesystem, but not both. So which is
it? Is the use of the size of the file before compresion the old way
(pre-aggregate) way of doing things? Is the manual wrong? Is the help wrong?

(and yes I've read the quickfacts, and no, they don't make things any clearer)
