    POWERVC Enterprise Pool V1 enablement for core/memory activations during LPM

    Please add the ability for PowerVC to migrate enterprise pool V1 activations from source to target frames during LPM operations. This would be something similar to how the lab services LPM toolkit performs this functionality.

    PowerVC - name vs mmts

    PowerVC uses MMTS name(9080M9S_123ABC) rather display name(mypower_frame1) in REST API, command line, logs etc. It is very inconvenient for readability and usability.

    Support for changing the name of a storage pool without impacting powervc

    Adding the ability to change the name of a storage pool without impacting PowerVC would simplify storage management. Currently, if a storage pool's name is changed directly on the storage array (an "out-of-band" change), PowerVC does not detect th...
