SVC Reverse FlashCopy, Copy Rate%

I have been talking to Bill Wiegand about this change i would like to have changed int eh SVC. When you create a reverse Flashcopy the default if to set the copy rate to 0. When i have a Flashcopy as a SNAP and the default rate of a reverse is 0 no data is ever copied from the SNAP. The default when the system notices a reverse flashcopy happening should be to ONLY select 100% or anything besides 0. Again, 0 will not allow the restore to take place. Please make this change in the SVC GUI code as the flashcopy guide dont reflect this and as it stands by default does not work as intended.

    Thank you for the input, and we agree there is potential to improve in the area of the GUI as it relates to reverse FlashCopy and this default setting.  We will have it on our list of candidates under consideration.
