Changing SGC behavior when pool run out of space

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Customer run SGC session on DR site (Global Mirror target site).
When extend pool used for SGC Capacity reached 90% usage the system starts to roll off SGC backups on VOLUME BASE to free up space. In this situation ALL backups failed and not recoverable any more.
Situation match more critical when the host is IBMi where consistency of copy set is critical.
In case where SGC capacity and Global Mirror consistency group configured on the same ESE pools it can lead to situation when both GM and SGC will failed and customer could left without any point to recovery.
I suggest changing it to roll-off(expire) complete backup instead of doing volume based roll-off.
