Forwarding additional ports for remote support

By default, port 22 is used for SSH to configure a remote support. You can expose additional ports to let IBM service engineer access other services like install stage 2 user interface.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the service node with kni user details.
  2. Edit the /var/opt/ibm/trc/target/profiles/lightsoutprofile.properties file.
  3. Update the TunnelList field.
    For example:
    Old value: TunnelList = command_line\=tcp@localhost\:22
New value: TunnelList = command_line\=tcp@localhost\:22,install_ui\=tcp@localhost\:3000
  4. Save and close the properties file.
    Note: If there is an ongoing remote support session, then stop and the start session for the changes to take effect.
