Import existing hardware copy services relationships directly by CSM

Customer is using DSCLI to manage Copy Services relationships and now they want to migrate the existing CS relationships to CSM, but customer have a lot of DS8Ks and CS relationships, it's not easy and time consuming to do it manually, we also tried using the TPC-R migration tool provided in CSM Knowledge Center but got problems:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSESK4_6.1.4/com.ibm.storage.csm.help.doc/frc_t_takeover_existing.html
The migration tool is too old (developed in 2007) and cannot support some of the new CS features introduced after 2007.
So customer is asking if we could add a new feature in CSM to discover/scan existing hardware CS relationships and import them directly in CSM.

    We'll have to look into this more. To import existing relationships into CSM sessions is difficult for some of the more complex solutions involving more than 2 volumes. We can look into updating the migration tool and see if there's a way we can provide this through the CSM interfaces.
