rename storage view via CLI?

Hi Joachim,

Here's instructions on how to change a storage-view name in the CLI:

I have two storage-views on my test system:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> ls

esx_storage_view  federation_storage_view

To change the name (among other properties) you need to use the "::" to set the property:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> set esx_storage_view::  (Hit tab for tab completions)

esx_storage_view::caw-enabled                esx_storage_view::controller-tag

esx_storage_view::initiators                 esx_storage_view::name

esx_storage_view::operational-status         esx_storage_view::port-name-enabled-status

esx_storage_view::ports                      esx_storage_view::virtual-volumes

esx_storage_view::write-same-16-enabled      esx_storage_view::xcopy-enabled

Then set the "name" property:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> set esx_storage_view::name mynewname

The name's changed:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> ls

federation_storage_view  mynewname

Change it again:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> set mynewname::name esx_storage_view

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views> ls

esx_storage_view  federation_storage_view

I don't know what the RESTful API call would be to do that, but perhaps with this information it's simple to do via Rest.
