Securing the IBM Spectrum Scale system using firewall
The IBM Spectrum Scale™ system is an open system where the customer can interact with the system through other third-party interfaces like MMC, web applications, and so on. The customer also has root access to the system just like any Linux server administrator. Firewalls that are associated with open systems are specific to deployments, operating systems, and it varies from customer to customer. It is the responsibility of the system administrator or Lab Service (LBS) to set the firewall accordingly; similar to what Linux distributions do today. This section provides recommendations to set up a firewall to secure the IBM Spectrum Scale protocol nodes.
