Add Support for Hardware Load Balancers like the F5

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are a large bank and a large enterprise customer. Not all Open-Source software is supported. HA-Proxy is one of those not supported. But we still need to Load balance the GPFS GUI. This is a requirement when hosting Scale in OCP. We need to place our Scale GPFS GUI nodes behind an F5 load balancer and not HA Proxy. There must also be other large customers that need to use a hardware load balancer.

    Hi Thomas-

    Yes, we want to be sure when CNSA reaches out to the storage cluster to create storage, it can always reach a GUI server.

    We'd like to better understand the request, what function of the GUI are you using , is the rest API for CSI what you are referring to in this request ?
