Have GUI display, monitor, and report the RCCG names and states

Add a current status of the remote copy consistency groups to the GUI. VMRMDR sets up the VMRDG_6_ksysclu RCCG but does not display them in the GUI. If one gets of the RCCGs gets out of the “consistent_synchronized” state, then the customer tries to use VMRMDR to rehearsal, it will throw errors for the workgroup that uses that consistency group. Since VMRMDR already has access to the storage, because it created the RCCGs, why not display the RCCG names in the GUI? Also, again, since VMRMDR has access to the storage, it could monitor the RCCG states, and report (in the GUI or email) when they are not in “good” states? Unless the user has access to the storage and knows the commands, they are at the mercy of the storage team's monitoring and them resolving the issues instead of VMRMDR proactively notifying admins of the problems. VMRMDR, as far as I know, does not check the state of the RCCG until a rehearsal is actually attempted at that point, errors can occur and can delay the testing. We have a script that queries our local FS9200 (fs9200-prod) and our remote FS9200 (fs9200-dr) and reports back all the VMRDG* RCCGs' states.

# ./show_rccg_state

fs9200-prod: 12 consistency groups

VMRDG_4_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_5_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_6_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_14_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_13_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_8_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_9_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_10_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_11_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_12_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_7_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_15_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

fs9200-dr: 12 consistency groups

VMRDG_4_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_5_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_6_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_14_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_13_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_8_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_9_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_10_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_11_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_12_ksyscl consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_7_ksysclu consistent_synchronized

VMRDG_15_ksyscl consistent_synchronized


The script uses the "lsrcconsistgrp" command on a FS9200 to query the states of the RCCGs.
