RPO Reporting Enhancement in Tape Gui

Today in the 7700 Tape GUI.. The current display of the COPY QUEUE contains a combined sum of ALL of the "deferred" and "Family" virtual volumes queued up --- that need to be copied.

My customer "Humana" would very much like:

1. Ability to see these two queues broken apart -the total of the "DEFERRED" copy queue - this is their true RPO - or what has yet to be sent across to their remote clusters-- separately from the total of the "FAMILY" queue.

2. Ability to see the actual virtual volumes that make up the "DEFERRED" queue. This would really be nice - if possible. Again this allows them to determine true RPO (Recovery Point Objective) in case of a disaster recovery.

By combining Family and deferred in the gui we have an hugely inflated view - Family may include virtual volumes that have ALREADY made it across to the remote clusters and only need to be copied to a remote sister cluster etc... it clouds the view of what virtual volume workload really REMAINS to be sent offsite.
