Dynamic volume expansion for HyperSwap volumes

We urgently need the support for dynamic volume expansion at HyperSwap volumes. Currently one HyperSwap volume copy needs to be removed to enable the volume expansion and afterwards to be re-created &re-synchronized again to do this. This results in additional work effort and temporarily missing data dedundancy.

    This is now implemented for everything except fully allocated volumes. (Supported on thin, compressed, and deduplicated volumes)

    Dear IBM development team,

    since new product versions with Storwize management stack came up in the meantime:
    could you please add the requested capability also for the FlashSystem 9110 and 9150 models, the V5100 and V7000 Gen3 ?

    Thank you very much & cheers !
