FlashSystem Refresh without host-side intervention

refresh an FS device to a new FS without requiring any server commands/intervention. This would supply a process to handle an FS device refresh where 100% of the activity is done at the Storage level only, preserving all of the following configuration/requirements:

  1. NPIV WWPNs

  2. remote copy relationships

  3. flashcopy relationships

  4. volume/vdisk UIDs

  5. host mappings
