Have you looked at using oc rsh command, including its --container option, or the feature of the web console to access running pods/containers? – Footbridge

Answer 1

First find the pod: oc get pods

Second task is to list all containers oc describe pod/NAME_OF_YOUR_POD

Third is to connect to the container by oc rsh --container CONTAINERNAME PODNAME

It depends what you mean by "access". I usually employ oc exec -it $pod -c $container bash in such situations (w/o -c $container for pods with only single containers). $pod and $container can e.g. be learned from oc describe pods.
