PowerVC should fully support Policy-based HA

A lot of IBM flashsystems are now supporting policy-based high availability (PBHA). And a lot of clients are eager to start using it.
To my knowledge, IBM PowerVC still does not support PBHA. It also isn't in the announcement for PowerVC 2.3.2 (the next release).
Please add support for policy-based HA to a future version of PowerVC.

    When IBM products don't support necessary IBM products, it causes us to look at other vendors that understand how to provide an end to end solution that actually works.

    If we have to wait until all our Storage is on unsupported levels to get PowerVC updated to support PBR, that's a problem!!

    Come on IBM. PBR has been out a long time now and we need PowerVC to fully support it ASAP.
