SVC to FS9200 NDVM (Non-Disruptive Volume Move)

At GTS, we have a strategy to deploy FS9200s in their respective islands. We are not deploying FS9200s with front-ended SVCs. The SVC instances exist in tens of thousands in the field. Most of the times the migration requires outage for a server during cut-over. There are mission critical application servers and Database servers in many client locations. We need a different way of migrating the data from SVCs to FS9200s without causing an outage or without doing at Server Level or image mode vdisk migration. For a long time, clients are used to leverage Non-Disruptive Volume Movement behind SVC. Need to avail this feature to move data between SVC and FS9200s. Is there a possibility to add FS9200s into the SVC Cluster (nodes not exceeding 6) and move volumes between pools and discard SVC Nodes from the combined cluster?

    Attachment (Description): Enable firmware in SVC to join FS9200 as part of cluster and move data between pools and discard/remove SVC Nodes. End state would be with FS9200s.
