TS7700 physical WORM

Logical WORM protection in TS7700 protects virtual volumes from being modified or deleted from the host perspective. However, it does not provide a protection from physical damage of e.g. the cache. Once migrated to physical tape there is also no protection for the physical tape cartridge from being overwritten or deleted by intention or by mistake (e.g. by IBM support personnel). Suggest to introduce physical WORM support e.g. for a specific tape pool to protect either LWORM virtual volumes or otherwise marked virtual volumes e.g. using a new data class construct PWORM or alike.
