No. Although there is a root account that gives you a real shell, it is
not
available to regular users and if you change anything with it, you forfeit
the right to support.

Don't get any funny ideas

Hmm....that's unfortunate. The Java GUI and web interface that's used to
maintain the SAN leaves a lot to be desired. I had dreams of performing
batch updates etc. via command line scripts, but it looks like those dreams
have been nipped early. ;-)

Actually Michael, Brocade does have an excellent CLI, and they also
have a Perl API. You may have to purchase the API Toolkit (you should
talk to your EMC rep about this). Either of these methods would allow
you to write your own scripts without invalidating Brocade's support.
