Minimum migration file size

The space management client does not migrate a file unless the migration saves space on your local file system.

To be eligible for migration, a file must satisfy all of the following size criteria:
  • The file logical size is larger than the value of the stubsize option.
  • The space that a file occupies is at least as great as the value of the minmigfilesize option.

The minmigfilesize option can be set for all file systems in the dsm.sys file. The minmigfilesize option can be set for a specific file system with the dsmmigfs add and dsmmigfs update commands. A valid setting for a specific file system overrides the global value that is specified in the dsm.sys file.
