Launch CLI from GUI

I have received multiple requests from my customers to add the ability to launch the FlashSystem CLI from the GUI like other IBM products. Please consider adding this simple change.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. We have had a good discussion internally about this request. While we would like to implement all the RFEs / Ideas that we receive, for maximum transparency we are closing Ideas that don’t currently appear on our two-year roadmap.

    We understand on some products like DS8K and TS7700, with a separate DSCLI client to install, having the CLI embedded in the GUI is big a convenience.

    It is less critical on Spectrum Virtualize because there is no client required and you can SSH in from anywhere.

    However, we think there are still benefits of a web-based CLI terminal, where it allows you to use single sign-on or a richer set of MFA devices, and we plan to take another look at this in the future.

    We appreciate your input and hope that you will continue to submit enhancement requests, as this feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Spectrum Virtualize and FlashSystem family.


    Thanks,
    SpecV Team

    The DS8000 is a good example of this functionality embedded in the GUI.

    They have a CLI icon that you can click on to launch DSCLI, issue commands or import a script.
