Creating an Instance Console Connection for a Cloud VM

To create a instance console connection, the cloud VM must be in Running state.

  1. Right-click the cloud VM name and select Console, Create Connection.

  2. The Public Key dialog is displayed. Paste the public key used for the instance connection into the dialog and click OK.

    By default, either the first entry in your SSH keys folder or the public key used for your previous instance console connection is used.

  3. Click Connect to connect to the instance. An instance console is displayed automatically on the host.

  4. (Optional) Click Show Log to display log messages for the instance console connection.

See the documentation for details about how you can use an instance console connection to troubleshoot instance problems.
