PowerVC support for lun migration to different storage pool in IBM SVC

Our Costumer would like to migrate a LUN (created and managed by PowerVC) to a new storage Pool in the SVC.
The Costumer has two old storage-pools in the SVC and would like to migrate Copy0 of the LUN to the new pool-1 and Copy1 of the LUN to new pool-2.
The actual way is
1. unmanage the resources to be migrated
2. migrate OUTSIDE of powervc
3. remanage the resources into powervc

What we like to have :
select LUN in PowerVC.
select copy0 of the lun and choose "move to new target pool".
wait to complete
select copy1 of the lun and choose "move to new target pool".

with the effect that PowerVC is aware of this change, and "remanage the resources into powerVC" is not needed.
