Output enhancement for the error CMMVC6024E.

Customer tried to create a mkrcrelationship in Metro Mirror modality for two volumes of 3,09 TB and received the following error:
CMMVC6024E The auxiliary volume entered is invalid.
.
The explanation for this code CMMVC6024E in the Web is very poor and customer opened PMR in support to get assistance. After we changed the size of both volumes to 3,1 TB, we were able to create the remote copy relationship properly.
Customer requested to improve the explanation of this error, for instance, reporting auxiliary volume is lower than master or volume size mismatched, instead of only "The auxiliary volume entered is invalid".
Thanks in advance.
