Storage Insights to display PPRCPATH Pairing Information from the DS8000

We already have Copy Data statistics that pull in a wide range of information with regard to copy pairs, etc. Would it be possible to include PPRC Paths and their pairings at the LCU level, just like we can retrieve from DSCLI and the GUI? This would provide a good 1 stop shop for monitoring remote mirroring and fiber channel PPRC Path pairings. Currently, we are not using S/I to do much in the way of monitoring our infrastructure when it comes to our replication environments, but, considering that all we have are replicated environments, it would be nice to see that are enhanced. If this is a tangible idea, I know it would be well received from our Team.

    Thanks for this input, we have something similar on our backlog that we're considering. I'll add your input to that item to help with the prioritisation.
