Finding WWPNs for spare nodes in SpecVirt products is difficult

The main management interfaces for the Spectrum Virtualize family makes it difficult (CLI) to impossible (GUI) to find the WWPNs for spare nodes.

On the CLI, the sainfo lsservicestatus command can be used to find the WWPNs on spare nodes, but additional filtering is required (such as grepping the output for WWPN).

There does not appear to be any ability to obtain this data through the GUI.

    This is not available in the GUI. However, we have enhanced the CLI so that it no longer requires superuser:

    (available in 8.6.0)

    Previous command: sainfo lsservicestatus

    New command:  svcinfo lsnodestatus
