Resolution

Launch the Host Configuration Client from the Vantage Windows Client.
Select "Define Data Set Groups"
Select an existing Group name, or define a new one.
In the Edit Data Set Group panel, select one of the Edits in the Tape Group Filter Definitions to define the Filter for this Group.
Save it as an External Filter on the host.

Run the TAPSTATS script to activate the new Tape Group.
The Tape Group can now be viewed from the Data Set Groups (Applications), by selecting "On Tape Storage", "Combined Groups", or "Group Definitions".
