Store the active IPLType/-mode at time of LCP capture

For the IPL of our production systems we have 2 IPL-sets, the A- and B-set. Every xx weeks we apply maintenance on the inactive set and then IPL from that set.

When performing an IPL of the CVE, of one of the LCP captures, we need to know what was the active IPL-set at the time of the capture. We could now be running from the A-set, but if we select a capture, that capture could be taken when were running from the B-set. 

So it would be very usefull if the IPLType/-mode is stored together with the capture info. For example by means of an extra column in the "Logical Corruption Protection SafeGuard Captures" panel (VPCPLCS0).

    We are also looking at implementing LCP. This seems like a good idea.

    This would be good for us, but we probably won’t IPL from LCP copy very often so not a huge priority. Currently when we restore a capture we need to manually look up what volume we should be IPLing from.

    Not directly applicable to our environment, so no vote, but in general we agree with the concept that LCP captures should be self-contained and include self-describing metadata like this. In a similar vein, for true immutability purposes, we feel that the expiry date of the capture should be set and stored internally at the time that it is created.

    this seems to be a duplicate of I-210. Would be beneficial
