DS8000 ScG backup volume runs out of Virtual Capacity

When a SG backup volume runs out of Virtual Capacity, have the DS8K automatically increase the Virtual Capacity Multiplier with 1 for that volume.
The increase by 1 should be sufficient I think, I do not think this should be configurable. However, the automatic increase should be configurable. Some clients may not find that desirable, or we might want automatic increase for our production systems only, but not for our test systems.

    This request was declined as a duplicate of another request #86182 which is Under onsideration: Allowing for the increase and decrease of the SGC backups will help manage the virtual capacity concerns.

    Washington System Center/ATG already has a tool that regularly checks used multiplier values. If near end, then it increases multiplier by 1. Reach out to Craig Gordon or Michael Frankenburg at IBM

    I had asked last year, for design change to the Safeguarded Copy Virtual Capacity (multipliers) to use as much Physical space in the Pool as is available (minus some threshold), just like ESE volume usage, to make Safeguarded Copy Capacity easy to configure and use. But this seems like simpler approach to issue a warning message and increase multiplier for the failing volume by 1 (as long as there is space in the Pool) Thanks
