LCP: tagging/untagging using script or NetView command

Currently, the only way a capture can be tagged or untagged is from panel VPCPLCS0.

Being able to take these actions using a NetView command or a GDPS script would help develop unattended procedures.

    Would be helpful for creating procedures for automatic validation of LCP copies.

    Good idea. Not essential, but useful

    I agree with creating more ways to automate things, but this is not something we'll be looking at implementing within 2 years, so a low priority.

    Positive. Seems to be essential in automating cybervault IPLs and checks. But a bit hesitant because of how to tag the correct copy. Low prioirty.

    This would be great for the reasons mentioned.

    Needed. Command line should always be the first design choice for a truly automatable, hands-off solution of any kind.

    The GDPS Web API provides this capability.

    Not required by us any time soon. But isn't there an api that does this ? - if not, how does IzBR do it ?

    Not something we'll need with the next two years (n/a by us).

    LBG: Makes sense but not something we currently need in the next two years.
