Hi,

So we get a new type of storage pools, the directory-container storage
pools. These enable TSM to do in flight dedup. But you cannot use any of
the following functions with directory-container storage pools:

   - Migration
   - Reclamation
   - Aggregation
   - Collocation
   - Simultaneous-write
   - Storage pool backup
   - Virtual volumes

So having in flight dedupe removes any way of doing bck stg other than use
node replication to get the data in a second place. Pretty bad limitation
in my opinion or am I missing something?

Kind regards,

Karel
