How do I config Xcopy`s length of ESXi?

I know 2 ways to config Xcopy`s length:

1. use esxcfg-advcfg -s 16384 /DataMover/MaxHWTransferSize ,  ESXi will send 16M Xcopy to storage array

2.  use esxcli storage core claimrule add -r 914 -t vendor -V XtremIO -M XtremApp -P VMW_VAAIP_T10 -c VAAI -a 

     to add a claimrule to let the ESXi use storage reported parameters to size the XCOPY segment.

Here is my question:

     1. what the "storage reported parameters" is?  is it the "MAXIMUM SEGMENT LENGTH" of RECEIVE_COPY_RESULTS(0x84) command in SCSI protocol?

     2. these two ways will override each other? for example,when I use the way number 1 ,then the way number 2 will not work.

Please if you know the question, you have my deepest gratitude.
