Sync Snapshot information marked for deletion or deleted from the SPS side with the FlashSystem

Currently,

When we execute command "./fcmcli -f inquire_detail" the list of all the snapshots taken by the SPS is displayed.

CASE 1 :

In case of the parameter MAX_VERSIONS when the new snapshot is taken, automatically older snapshot version exceeding this value is deleted. In this case, the SPS shows that it is deleted in its output but its actually marked for deletion. So, after some time, this deletion occurs. So, the idea is to improve the output shown at SPS side with one more column added to output showing that this is marked for deletion.

CASE 2 :

In snapshot created by the SPS is forcefully deleted by the end user using FlashSystem command line or UI, still that snapshot is showed at SPS side.

So, for this enhancement to work, can we sync the Snpashot information between SPS and FlashSystem to be checked after every fixed time interval by SPS daemon processes ?

Thank You.
