Hi Mikhail,

IBM does not recommend the switching technique below.

A few other ideas for creating a tertiary copy...
   - use disk-based replication (it's not integrated into Protect 
replication... but could be done) and create a "consistency group" that 
covers the the database DB (db, instance dir, other related parts) and the 
storage pool
   - HADR (Example: 
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/storageneers/entry/tsmptha?lang=en
)
 
Check Youtube... there are a few presentations out there that talk about 
it as well.
