Before, running heketi commands you need to export three variables.

HEKETI_CLI_SERVER
HEKETI_CLI_USER
HEKETI_CLI_KEY


1.
oc get route


use the above url with http:// added in the front.

#export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=http://url above


2.
username configured

# export HEKETI_CLI_KEY=admin

3.

Get the admin key from the command
# oc get pods heketi-cns-1-sgwwg -o yaml | grep HEKETI_ADMIN_KEY -A1
    - name: HEKETI_ADMIN_KEY
      value: admin

# export HEKETI_CLI_USER=admin

Note: use kubectl in case of kubernetes.  example shows oc which is for openshift.

Now, you can verify the heketi commands as:

# heketi-cli cluster list
