When testing connectivity to the Dell EMC PowerScale cluster through the Web Administration interface, what should be typed in the address line of the browser?

The Dell PowerScale OneFS web administration interface is accessed securely over HTTPS on TCP port 8080. To connect, a user must navigate to the IP address or SmartConnect name of the cluster, specifying the protocol https:// and the port :8080. This ensures an encrypted management session. Standard HTTP is not used for the primary administrative interface.

B. http://:80 is the standard, unencrypted web port and is not used for the OneFS web administration interface.
C. http://:8082 is incorrect. Port 8082 is typically used for the unencrypted OneFS Platform API (PAPI), not the graphical user interface.
D. https://:8081 is not the default port for the OneFS web administration interface or any other standard PowerScale service.

1. Dell PowerScale OneFS 9.5.0.0 Web Administration Guide, Page 12, "Log in to the web administration interface". The guide explicitly states: "To access the web administration interface, in a supported web browser, type the following address: https://:8080".

2. Dell PowerScale: Network Design Considerations, Page 18, Table 5 "OneFS management ports". The table lists "OneFS WebUI" with the protocol "HTTPS" and port "8080".

3. Dell Security Advisory DSA-2023-163. This advisory, discussing updates to the web administration interface, implicitly confirms its operation by referencing vulnerabilities within the service running on port 8080.
