    This would be a great enhancement conceptually, but there are several other considerations not discussed here to make this happen.

    We understand that switching the GM target from the primary to the secondary in the d/r site will require an additional journal copy on the secondary in the d/r site. However, the benefit of allowing the GM session to continue in the event of the failure of the primary at the d/r site is very large. In addition, we do have an identified risk in that the IODF in the d/r site for the primary can't be fully tested with the existing technology. Performing a GM target switch to the secondary would allow us to IPL off of the primary at the d/r site and validate the configuration should a d/r event happen.
