Update CopyOperator role in IBM Spectrum Virtualize

IBM SVC v8.2.1.9
IBM CSM v6.2.8

>Trying to execute CSM FlashCopy sessions to SVC controllers and CSMSERVICE account needs 'Administrator' role access as the 'CopyOperator' privelidges are insufficent.

> Unfortunately the 'CopyOperator' group role can not create or delete any copy services relationships or consistency groups.

> Currently the Administrator role has been assigned and works fine. Not sure if 'RestrictedAdmin' could be used as it would need to delete fcmappings and fcconsistencygrps.


> Ideally CopyOperator is the right role for the CSMSERVICE account, but needs some extra commands added:


CopyOperator
You can issue the following commands:
* prestartfcconsistgrp
* startfcconsistgrp
* stopfcconsistgrp
* chfcconsistgrp
* prestartfcmap
* startfcmap
* stopfcmap
* chfcmap
* startrcconsistgrp
* stoprcconsistgrp
* switchrcconsistgrp
* chrcconsistgrp
* startrcrelationship
* stoprcrelationship
* switchrcrelationship
* chrcrelationship
* chpartnership

We require commands for CSM FlashCopy session above to run:
* mkfcmap
* rmfcmap
* mkfcconsistgrp
* rmfcconsistgrp

Optionally CSM should also be able to do (not yet seen these commands required as they are normally executed by storage admin before creating CSM sessions):
* mkrcrelationship
* rmrcrelationship
* mkrcconsistgrp
* rmrcconsistgrp

Can additional commands be added to CopyOperator role as required for CSM Snapshots sessions to function without CSM requiring elevated administrator access to our storage controller.
