I understand that you are trying to enable the service shell (root), but the question is if there is any real need for it.
It's unlikely that this kind of information will be provided for test purposes, and will most likely remain internal only (unless there is a clear valid reason).
We will check internally if this is something that can (or should) be provided. We will get back to you on this.
So by design, root access is only allowed for EMC Engineering and Level 2 Tech Support.
The idea is that root access should never be needed on Unity at all. Everything that is required for support should be achieved by service commands (or UEMCLI, REST API, etc. depending on what you are trying to accomplish).
If something requires root access, this means that L2 Tech Support or Engineering should be involved.
Also, remember that Unity, although there are some similarities, is a completely different product from previous VNX/Celerra/CLARiiON arrays.
Commands like nas_x or server_x are no longer available to customers and partners.
The tools available for Unity should have other commands to allow you to do the same (or close) actions that you were able to in other EMC products.

On VSA, i cant think of any command that require this.
