For the labs related to the IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management - IBM Cloud App Management component you will be using the central Hub server installed in IBM Cloud. This environment is setup to be multi-tenant where each student has their own isolated tenant. Each student will have their own ICP cluster in Skytap that you will manage from the centralized Hub server.
You connect to the hub using a web browser and userX assigned to you by lab instructor (each participant has unique id)
In parallel you connect to a managed cluster via SSH with credentials: localuser/passw0rd (all partitipants use the same credentials)
| Access credentials | ||
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Username | Password |
| IBM CloudPak for MCM User Interface | assigned to you by lab instructor (userXX) | alpine-has-acorn-valley |
| managed-cluster VM | localuser | passw0rd |
Go to https://ibm.biz/fs20skytap and register with the email and access code for the session.
To access the managed cluster you need a terminal with SSH client. On Mac or Linux workstation use a regular terminal, on Windows use Putty
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE SKYTAP UI TO CONNECT TO THE MACHINE - YOU WILL USE A TERMINAL CONNECTION DIRECTLY FROM YOUR WORKSTATION
You should see the page that looks like this
Take a note of address and the port number, next to the managed-cluster VM. In above example, it is services-uscentral.skytap.com and 20660. It is the SSH port exposed from the virtal machine for your instance (for managed cluster)
Open the terminal on your workstation. Connect to the VM using user localuser with password passw0rd
For Mac and Linux
ssh -p <port> localuser@<address>
for example:
ssh -p 20660 [email protected]
For Windows use putty
To access the Hub cluster open a browser on your workstation and point it to:
https://icp-console.apps.169.61.23.248.nip.io
Login with the credentials from the previous step
ATTENTION: Lab tutorials were tested with Firefox browser.
