Hi,

My question was answered by Steve Hancock USG <hancock_at_decatl.alf.dec.com>.
Thanks Steve. He writes:

    The answer to your question is that when you use the showfile command
    without the '-x' switch you are only looking at the location of the
    metadata for the file which cannot be migrated with the migrate command.
    Try looking at the extent map which shows where the data blocks for
    you files reside (assuming the file is larger than a full-sized block
    or 8k) by using the "showfile -x" command. I think you's find this
    works better.

and indeed, this works.
