Filesets and storage pools are for the most part orthogonal concepts.  You 
would sort your users and apply quotas with filesets. You would use storage 
pools underneath filesets and the filesystem to migrate between faster and 
slower media. Migration between storage pools is done well by the policy engine 
with mmapplypolicy.  Moving between filesets is entirely up to you, but the 
path names will change. Migration within a filesystem using storage pools 
preserves path names.
