| 1 | VMs are now automatically connected to a virtual serial port, and we have exposed this serial port through the sipb-xen-console server. If you configure your VM to use this as a serial console, it is possible to remotely access your VMs serial console over ssh. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | To enable the serial console for Debian or Ubuntu machines, there are excellent instructions at [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto] |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Once you've enabled the serial console and rebooted your VM, you can access it by running |
| 6 | |
| 7 | {{{ |
| 8 | ssh MACHINE-NAME@sipb-xen-console.mit.edu |
| 9 | }}} |
| 10 | |
| 11 | You will need to authenticate to the server using Kerberos tickets. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then be sure to ssh in from an Athena machine. |
