CLI Command to identify the name of the Firmware on the storage

Currently there is no command which identifies the name of the Firmware on the FlashSystem Storage devices. When we are trying to automate the firmware name cannot be obtained. So this causes a lot of issues whereby people assign random names for the FlashSystem Firmware.

    I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for but "lssystem" gives the code_level in it's output.

    An example:

    lssystem | grep code

    code_level 9.1.0.2 (build 187.28.2511111502000)

    The same can be achieved through an API request.
