    I think I may need more information to understand exactly what you're looking for here. At first it sounded to me like you wanted a new session where you specify only the source volumes and then that session allows you to flash the session x number of times, where each flash has CSM create a new target volume. When the x+1 flash occurs, CSM would then delete the first flash and create a new one again. I think I explained in an email or on a call how this could be done with mulitple CSM sessions. But thought this was a request for a single session to handle it. However, I'm a little confused on the part where you want to Flash and then after the flash associate it to a volumes set which I assume you mean session. So perhaps it's best if we discuss this RFE on a call so I can understand better exactly what you're looking for.
