VMWare SRM + TPC-R + XIV Integration

We use vmware SRM with VMs using XIV storage and using TPC-R for replica management and monitoring.
Once the SRM has moved the VM, TPC-R shows an error message because the status is severe.
IBM support explain us that the integration with SRM + XIV + TPC-R is not implemented.

    CSM supports a coexistence model with VMWare SRM. In order to avoid the error after the failover an SRA would need to be created for use between VMWare SRM and CSM. We want to eventually develop this but it is not currently in plan.
