Provide batch management of TS7700 controls

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are a large shop with a large number of VTS clusters to manage (72 currently). Having this many clusters means a lot of additional work when logging on to that many GUI's to manage the various statuses and configuration settings. In order to more effectively manage this environment we need a tool similar to what is being provided through the IBMDSCLI to manage our DS8886's. That batch tool is very comprehensive in the fact that most if not all of the configuration can be done through the DSCLI.

At a minimum we would request that IBM provide display commands of these TS7700 VTS onstructs:
Storage Groups
Management Classes
Storage Classes
Data Classes

We would also like the same for the Cluster Settings (Copy Policy Override at a minimum).

In addition we would like to modify at least the management class settings as those are much more dynamic than the other settings that rarely get changed. Eventually we would like a batch type option to change any of the settings that today require GUI access. Of course, this should have standard security around the issuance of the command.

    IBM recognizes the benefit of providing this capability, and will consider this request while planning future releases.
