6 SITE LCP functionality

With GDPS 4.8, support for the 6-site topology was added. Unfortunately, this topology does not include the LCP manager functionality. While we do not use this topology today, we are expected to make use of it in the near future. We utilize SGC captures in a virtually isolated environment in our current 4 site topology, one on each site. Our intention is to continue with this capability once we reach our end 6-SITE topology, and as it currently exists this would not be possible. Our goal would be to have all 6 sites capable of capturing and recovering in the same virtually isolated manner as we do with our 4 sites today, which includes incremental restoration of data from any site back to the active site.

    We have no current plans for 6-site. Low priority for us, although, in reality, LCP support is essential for all topologies.
