storwize remote mirror bitmap space in hyperswap

in a hyperswap environment with heavy overprovisioning there is a lack of bitmap space for remote copy operations inside the hyperswap. we can extent flashcopy bitmap space to 2GB, but remotecopy is shared with other features an limited to 552 MB for all features. so there is a problem to create more volumes in this hyperswap environment. it is necessary to extent the bitmap space for remote mirror in the same way as flashcopy.

    Especially in the Hyperswap environment with an increasing number of installations and capacities of modules, it is not the first case and we will have more of this issues of addressing more remote copy capacity, including the Flashcopy maps, in the future. An increase of that buffer limit will also help in big Stretched cluster environments.
