| + | ====== Virtual Machine Creation ====== | ||
| + | Following your set up of a VM Server, log into the VM server as root using the command 'ssh root@vmserver02.student.lab' | ||
| + | =====Preparation===== | ||
| + | ===VM Server check=== | ||
| + | Once you have access to the VM Server: | ||
| + | * Check the number of running virtual machines using the 'xm list' command. | ||
| + | * If there are more than 8 virtual machines running, use a different VM Server. | ||
| + | ===VM Resource management=== | ||
| + | Now go to a separate web-browser window to choose your virtual machine hostname. | ||

| + | <cli> | ||
| + | root@vmserver##: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | * Where ## is the number of the virtual machine you created in the creation section. | ||
| + | * To boot the vm without viewing it use the following command: | ||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | root@vmserver##: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | *When the virtual machine has finished booting you can detach from the virtual machine, returning to the VMServer prompt, using the < | ||

| + | ====Accessing Your Virtual Machine==== | ||
| + | You can now access your virtual machine from any lab46 terminal window using SSH. | ||
| + | The command to connect to your virtual machine is: | ||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | lab46:~$ ssh root@vm## | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Managing your virtual machine can be done utilizing the XM tool on the VMServer you created the virtual machine on. | ||
| + | * The command 'xm help' will show you a list of actions you can take. | ||
