Please we need a web interface to manage POWERHA for IBM-i!

With the new web interface you can only monitor the resources on the cluster and this its not so useful really. It's 2023 and for manage powerha i currently still use the old Heritage. It's a painful task.

    The PowerHA June enhancements are now available which adds the ability to perform several management operations via the PowerHA web interface, including the following types of operations:
    1. Cluster node actions, including starting and ending cluster nodes
    2. Administrative domain management, including:
    2a. Starting and ending administrative domains
    2b. Adding and removing monitored resources
    3. The ability to manage switchable environments, including:
    3a. Starting and ending cluster resource groups
    3b. Performing administrative switchovers and failovers
    3c. Managing replication sessions with the ability to suspend, resume, detach, and reattach replication.

    In addition, the following enhancements were also brought to the PowerHA web interface:
    * The web interface has improved customization that enables searching, sorting, filtering, and selecting columns for tables within the interface.
    * When using the PowerHA web interface, it is now possible to easily view a dynamically generated SQL query that would produce similar results to what is shown on the screen, including the current column, sorting, and filtering customizations.

    This request is being marked as delivered as we believe it handles most daily management activities for PowerHA. We will continue to use feedback to drive the future direction of PowerHA. If there are additional requests for the PowerHA product, or the PowerHA web interface, we welcome additional ideas to help gather feedback.

    Thanks,
    The PowerHA Development Team

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    While we agree that this is a good idea, we believe there are higher prioriy items that need to be address like BRMS.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    The first version of the new PowerHA modern web interface was delivered in December 2022 via PTF to PowerHA 7.4 and PowerHA 7.5. This first version of the web interface allows for simplified monitoring of PowerHA. We understand the desire to manage PowerHA environments and agrees that it will be desirable to work towards this as part of future enhancements to the graphical interface.
    We will use this idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. The idea will be updated in the future if the request is implemented. The PowerHA team will use votes and comments from IBM i community members to help prioritize this idea.
    We look forward to hearing more about what specific actions are most important to the community to help us prioritize which types of management operations we should consider enabling first.
