FlashSystem Capacity Growth Non-Disruptive

FlashSystem storage model 840: With 25% average storage growth in our SO clients environments, the need to add storage over the term of a contract is constant. Appears that storage cannot be easily added to a FlashSystem storage model 840. Would suggest we request this be improved in future versions of the FlashSystem storage products.

    Thank you for submitting this request. Unfortunately, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager is not a management product for FlashSystems. As such, we will not be implementing a solution to honor the request. I have passed this request along to the FlashSystems product teams and they are already tracking this request in their internal tools. For an update on the status of this request, please contact your IBM representative or the FlashSystems product managers, Dave Gimpl or Shaluka Perera.
