GDPS/LCP with SGC in any SITE for MGM 4-SITE topology

We would like the ability to use GDPS/LCP to take a SGC capture in any of our 4 possible SITEs in a MGM 4-SITE topology. Today we have virtual isolated LCP and are taking SGC captures on our local Prod disk with our MzGM (XRC) 4-SITE, and then when we do our twice-yearly region switches we start doing SGC in the new region. Upon conversion to MGM 4-SITE we will be immediately looking to use the virtually isolated LCP capability and would also like to be able to do SGC capture/recover in any possible SITE. We are in the process of adding SGC capacity on all our SITE2 DASD subsystems in both regions in case of a SITE1 DASD failure - just because a single subsystem fails and causes a Hyperswap we don't want to lose our ongoing SGC capture/LCP protection. Having SGC capability on both SITE1 and SITE2 in the alternate region also allows for an interesting out-of-region capture + restoration in case of a disaster event occurring in conjunction with corruption, and it also allows us to validate the SGC process + SGC data in the other region either prior to a region switch or as an exercise in and of itself (recovering SGC data is safer/easier to do with our TCP-IP bubble and test capability in the recovery region).
