FCM: Possibility to create FULL FC on XIV

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If FlashCopy Manager is used in conjunction with XIV, then FlashCopy Manager only is able to create Space Efficient Snapshots.

Unfortunately also, if FlashCopy Manager creates Clone Systems. Especially for Clones or System Copies it is important to have the Disk I/O not on the same volumes like the productive ones.

XIV CLI delivery the option vol_copy to create a FULL copy.

This RFE is to enable the FlashCopy Manager also to additionally use the vol_copy command in order to create FULL FlashCopies. (Also, if additional .fct files will be necessary, then).

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, we do understand the requirement and the rationale behind it but unfortunately we currently do not plan to implement this function as an integral part of FCM, as you point out, this can be achieved today using scripting/services.
