I was thinking it would be nice, if while working in the Filer View GUI, your operations selected would build a command line "example"
Say for instance you wanted to make a new volume from the GUI.
You go to the volume section and you click Add.
The wizard pops up.
click next
Select your volume type (flexible)
click next
Name the volume (vol1)
Select language (en_US)
Decide if you want to use UTF-8 or not (no)
click next
select the aggregate (aggr0)
set your space guarantee (volume)
click next
choose volume size type (useable)
choose volume size (100GB)
set snapshot reserve (10%)
click next
now it shows all the options you picked in the text box.
Create New Volume
Volume Name: vol1
Aggregate Container: aggr0 (14TB, raid_dp,mirrored)
Volume Size: 100 GB
Snapshot Reserve: 10%
Language: English (US) (en_US)
Space Guarantee: volume
I want it to add the command line example of all the choices you picked. So it would look something like this
Create New Volume
Volume Name: vol1
Aggregate Container: aggr0 (14TB, raid_dp,mirrored)
Volume Size: 100 GB
Snapshot Reserve: 10%
Language: English (US) (en_US)
Space Guarantee: volume
CLI Commands used : vol create vol1 -l en_US aggr0 -s volume 100g
snap reserve vol1 10
I couldn't find a CLI command to specify if that 100GIG was useable or total space, but I hope you get what I'm going for.
This might help people become more proficient in the CLI interface, and also help build commands for scripting.
Thoughts, Ideas, comments?
I realize this doesn't exactly match your request, but it turns out that virtually everything that FilerView does will end up in the auditlog (found in /etc/log/auditlog on the root volume).
The entries will be a mix of API calls and command invocations (although the APIs have close CLI equivalents, many FilerView actions happen via ManageONTAP APIs rather than commands these days).
So while this won't come out quite in the nice form you've illustrated, you might learn quite a bit by examining the auditlog to see what FilerView did to accomplish the tasks you've requested.

AIX "smit" used to (and probably still does) do this. For anything you did in the admin interface it gave you a shortcut to go right to that page in the admin interface with a command line option and when you executed a command you could hit an fkey to see the actual command it ran, no jumping out to log files.

This concept is identical to what Veritas did (at least 8 years ago) for its vxfs and vxvm products. Whatever you selected in the gui above created an exact cli reference below, and as you changed gui selections the cli reference would change real time so you didn't even have to commit the changes to see what the command(s) would be.
I half suspect it's unnecessary for Ontap 7G since most work can be done with 6 commands but, as someone was commenting elsewhere, GX is a whole 'nother animal. The Veritas-like gui is one option, a true quick-reference guide is another (netapp's quick reference guides are not noted for their brevity).

Very cool idea, but ontap gx has a completely different web interface (awesome) and cli structure to boot... There is a 1:1 equivalent to what you click in the web ui or command line. I think that sorta accomplishes the goal, just not exactly the same way.

I agree - but the GX command line is so intuitive and quick (with the autocomplete), I find that that web interface just slows you down. The idea is that the web interface matches the CLI, but there's quite a bit missing from it really (though the command structure looks the same in both).
I would imagine that sooner rather than later (OnTap 9.0?), the GX element manager will get merged with the 7G web interface anyway. The ability to show the derived CLI command would be a useful feature in the new OS...

For the record, this sounds like a *great* and handy idea. Linking FilerView and the powerful ONTAP CLI = win/win!
As far as how to get it done, contacting either your TGA (if you have one), or your sales rep or other "account rep" type person and asking them about submitting an RFE would be a good way to start, it seems.
I know I will ;)

All this sounds like the (almost nonexistent!) Exchange 2003 GUI that rewrite all the powershell commands you should do...
My opinion? It's a non sense to have the CLI sample built at the end of the GUI wizard...If you've reached the end of the GUI you know what to do and I don't understand the reason for you need the command line for the next time, and vice versa!

Volume Name: vol1
Aggregate Container: aggr0 (14TB, raid_dp,mirrored)
Volume Size: 100 GB
Snapshot Reserve: 10%
Language: English (US) (en_US)
Space Guarantee: volume
CLI Commands used : vol create vol1 -l en_US aggr0 -s volume 100g
snap reserve vol1 10I couldn't find a CLI command to specify if that 100GIG was useable or total space, but I hope you get what I'm going for.
This might help people become more proficient in the CLI interface, and also help build commands for scripting.

There is an excellent idea. Imagine a new filer that you have to create 40 or 50 volumes doing clicks on filerview instead of editing a script and do a rsh to creat them in seconds. ----- Original Message ----- From: Milazzo Giacomo G.Milazzo@sinergy.it To: George T Chen gtchen@yahoo-inc.com, Daniel Leeds dleeds@edmunds.com, Mike ginguy_2000@yahoo.com, Laughlin T.

All this sounds like the (almost nonexistent!) Exchange 2003 GUI that rewrite all the powershell commands you should do…
My opinion? It’s a non sense to have the CLI sample built at the end of the GUI wizard…If you’ve reached the end of the GUI you know what to do and I don’t understand the reason for you need the command line for the next time, and vice versa!
