Opening a Virtual Machine Console for a Virtual Machine

To open a virtual machine console window for an active virtual machine, run the Oracle Appliance Manager oakcli show vmconsole command. If the console does not display correctly, then close the console, set the DISPLAY environment variable to an appropriate value for your monitor, and then rerun the oakcli show vmconsole command.

You can also configure your virtual machine (using oakcli modify vm command with the -s parameter) to allow access from the OAKCLI command line instead of a GUI virtual machine console.

Example

Open a console for the virtual machine named vm1_odarepo1:

oakcli show vmconsole vm1_odarepo1
