Configuring IPG to be exclusive for Tape Storage Templates

Most of the Power customers follow the best practice of segregating Disk and Tape traffic onto separate VIOS FC ports.  Although PowerVC currently allows for specifying  an IPG on Tape storage template (CLI), this IPG can be used by other Storage Templates as well for mapping Storage Volumes.  

An option to mark an IPG exclusively for Tape would help in maintaining the traffic segregation.   (Having this option in the GUI preferably under SCG section would be useful)

In addition allowing IPG to be specified in the GUI under Tape storage template would also benefit users.
