Issue
After a successful install, the Graid Management Console is not accessible from a remote host. A common features of many Linux distributions is that a firewall is enabled by default.
There may be other connectivity issues that this article does not account for such as additional firewalls between the server and the remote host, network restrictions/ rules set on networks/ vLANs, and other restrctions.
Resolution
Opening the firewall for the management console requires running a few commands.
RHEL/ Rocky/ openSUSE/ Fedora
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=50060/TCP --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Note: the port is the default. If you have changed it from the default, use that number instead.
The “--permanent” flag makes the change permeant after a reboot
The reload command restarts the firewall and ensures the change is loaded. Some environments MAY require a reboot to take effect.
Other Linux distributions may have commands that differ slightly.
