Enabling IBM Storage Scale GUI access by using JumpHost

The IBM Storage Scale GUI can be accessed for an IBM Storage Scale cloud cluster by using the cloudkit port-forward command.

The cloudkit port-forward command opens the corresponding GUI ports in the IBM Storage Scale cloud cluster to access the IBM Storage Scale GUI.

To grant GUI access, enter the following command:

#./cloudkit port-forward

Example:

#./cloudkit port-forward
