Console Access to Servers

From your control panel, you can open a VNC console to log in to your server. It is an HTML5 based web console that doesn’t require Java, Java VNC applet, or any separate VNC application to be installed to view and control your server.

If the server is running, you can manage it using command line or a graphical user interface, depending on the operating system installed in the server. You can also use the VNC console to troubleshoot specific problems, like startup or shutdown failures.

Important:
1. At least Virtuozzo 6 update 11 should be installed on the virtualization node for HTML5 console to be working. To enable console access for servers running on Virtuozzo hardware node, ports 5800-6800 should be opened on that hardware node. Be aware that for a secure session with CloudBlue Commerce, SSL certificate issued by the Certificate Authority should be installed on CloudBlue Commerce management node.
2. For proper working, HTML5 web console requires the httpd service to be running on Virtuozzo node. The httpd is disabled by default on Virtuozzo 7 node and therefore not started after reboot automatically. You need to start the httpd service explicitly and enable it by running the commands:
# systemctl start httpd
# systemctl enable httpd
3. HTML5 VNC console uses the modern web-socket based protocol. For a RHEL6-based UI/branding node there is an issue related to malfunctioning mod_rewrite module that is unable to pass such requests as a proxy. The issue has no solution for RHEL6. See https://kb.odin.com/en/132327 for more details. You should ensure that UI/branding nodes have RHEL7 based OS and the installed Apache web server on the UI/branding node can process and proxy websocket URIs.

To open a VNC console:

Go to Services > Cloud Infrastructure > Virtual Servers in the Cloud Infrastructure group.
Click the server whose console you want to access, and then switch to the Console tab.
Log in to the server with the user name and password you use to log in to the server via your control panel.

Use the console to perform tasks inside your server, like you would on any other computer.

There is also the setting allowing Japanese keyboard layout in Cloud Infrastructure server console, for details refer to the Cloud Infrastructure Automation Settings in System Properties section.
