Consistent VDisk copy protection during ESC Incremental Resynch and/or Volume Migration

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

During volume migration and volume copy incremental synchronization in stretch cluster configurations, until the second copy is consistent again, the loss of the primary site will command restoring data from tape backup into the second site capacity. This will require a significant amount of time and create a mega outage for application services. The RFE consists in implementing a Snap mechanism similar to the HyperSwap consistent copy protection for ESC volumes during incremental resynch or whenever transforming the nature of a volume copy. VDisks would be equipped w/ a shadow FlashCopy VDisk which data would be stored on the target site during incremental resynch operations or on the site where the new copy is being generated during volume transformation.
