CSM Tab completion?? Name length?

[whitema]

Does anyone know if there is a way to enable tab completion for commands and serverfarm/virtual names like the CSS does?

It is a complete PAIN to work with the CSM compared to a CSS.

The name of a given serverfarm/virtual seem to be limited to 16 characters. This is insane! Converting from the CSS which supports like 64 char names is a nightmare. Is there a way around this? If not, what were the developers thinking?!

Thanks!

sorry no workaround.

The problem is that the CSM is configured from the IOS on the MSFC and the IOS does not have tab completion for custom names.

Since the tab completion does not work, I think it makes sense to limit the size of the name - do you see yourself typing 64 chars each time you want to use a show command or modify your serverfarm ?

A solution to the problem of tab could be to use the GUI to manage the CSM.

This is a free software called CVDM.
