lsvdisk command has vdisk_UID as parameter option

Have the ability to isolate an lsvdisk based upon the vdisk_UID without the need to include -filtervalue. 

As it currently stands in the documentation you can use object_id and object_name to get the specifics of a vdisk, the proposal I am making is to include vdisk_UID as a search option by default, as the vdisk_UID is inherently a unique identifier to the object_id and object_name.

The way it would work is in the same way you would search for an lsvdisk, however removing the need to use -filtervalue vdisk_UID= to isolate a vdisk depending on their vdisk_UID.

Current

lsvdisk -filtervalue vdisk_UID=<VDISK_UID>

 

Proposed

lsvdisk <VDISK_UID>
