REST API access to TS4500 drive display codes

REST API for TS4500 drive list to include tape drive display codes for enterprise drives.

This could be limited to only be shown when the specific /v1/drives/<sn> URL endpoint is used, rather than listing them for all drives (/v1/drives) - though that would be preferred to give a quick overview, and we would otherwise end up running REST API queries in a loop anyway.

    IBM has reassessed the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy.

    You may continue to view, comment upon, upvote, and subscribe to ideas marked as not under consideration. IBM will review and may reconsider ideas if new information surfaces or there is additional client interest in an Idea.
