Description Phil Prosser 2016-10-03 10:22:22 UTC
Description of problem:

this is not a product issue but a packaging of the Origin "All-In-One" Virtual machine issue - wasn't sure which component to select. When issuing an oc port-forward to a pod, the port forward is successfully created. However, when you connect to the port you see an error "Unable to do port forwarding: socat not found". By SSHing into the vagrant VM and running sudo /bin/yum install socat, the package is installed and then port forwarding works perfectly. 

I think it would help our users trying to experience Openshift for the first time if this was resolved in the base VM.

It's already documented in a blog here :- https://blog.openshift.com/quick-tip-port-forwarding-and-the-all-in-one-vm/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): V3


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

Using the All-In-One VM

1. Create a new pod running MYSQL
2. create a port forward - oc port-forward mysql-1-1njj1 3306:3306
3. try connecting to the db using localhost:3306

Actual results:

failed connection to DB


Expected results:

Successful DB connection
