Automatic aux vdisk creation on remote copy relationship creation.

When you create Remote Copy relationships, you need to identify the source LUN / Size / Name, then create an IDENTICAL (to the last Kb in size) volume on the auxiliary site. Then you can create the relationship – master / aux.
If there was a simple way for SVC to create the remote volume when creating the relationships.
e.g Prompt box to say is the Volume already created, Do you want me to create the remote volume?

Would save a lot of hassle. Especially with the volumes which have been expanded and then have to identify the exact size for the remote site.

    the request could be extended to encompass also the creation of Change Volumes at the target site in the GUI dialogue of the primary system when the replication relationship is GMCV.
