PowerVC - managing FC port connnections from VIOS to storage

Customer engagement, Customer would like PowerVC to surface a way to select the backend storage ports used thru VIOS to connect.
Currently SCG provides the option to control how ports are used to VIOS, but cannot force port selection by VIOS to the back end storage.

    This is supported now in PowerVC 1.4.4 release, with configuring initiator port groups feature. Thanks again for this suggestion!
