Group Tags lost during LPM

HMC Group Tags are lost whenever an LPAR is migrated from one system to another. We use these tags to identify the workload and we have to re-create the tags every time we do LPM on the LPARs.

    Thank you for considering this for a future release. These are incredibly useful to help differentiate among large groups of HMC managed LPARs.

    It will be sorely missed until description and tags can be part of the LPAR definition, and thus both (a) migrate during an LPM, (b) be visible in a multi-HMC-per-site solution without redefining it in all HMCs. Otherwise, if an LPM wipes out all the work of tagging, why use it? (we LPM a few times a year, and wouldn't want to have to redo them each time) Same with description, btw, which does migrate with LPM, but only seems to be visible from the HMC you originated the description on (and not the e.g. second redundant one?).
