    The reason CSM does not currently allow for existing hardware cgs is that it is difficult to validate that all pairs in the CSM session are in the consistency group and that all pairs in the consistency group are in the session. By allowing CSM to create the consistency group, this ensures that the hardware and CSM match. Removing a cg on the hw is a quick action and starting the CSM session is in turn quick, meaning the time frame where the pairs are not in a cg should be quite small. Is it taking longer than would be expected?
