Hello
Is it possible to use RDM to connect to the console of a Server running on Oracle VM. If so how?
I am trailing RDM version 13.0.6.0
Thanks
Alan
Hello,
What tool do you use to achieve this outside of RDM?
I have found a REST API, but it doesnt hint on how to connect, its just for management.
If its a desktop client, we will need to see if it offers a command line interface or a SDK.
best regards,
Maurice

At the moment I use OVM manager which has an option to open the console, this opens another browser window which is the server console. I just wondered if there was an easy way to make the Console connection.
Maybe I could try VNC.

from the documentation
Oracle VM Manager uses a secure tunnel to protect the virtual machine console (remote connection utility) data across the network. Oracle VM Manager does not communicate directly with the VNC client, but rather connects via an SSH-encrypted tunnel on port 69xx (where xx is based on the guest to which it is connecting).
Any firewall between the Oracle VM Manager and the Oracle VM Servers needs ports 10000 and above open; one port for each virtual machine on an Oracle VM Server. For example, if you have 100 virtual machines on an Oracle VM Server, you should open ports 10000-10099 (100 ports) on any firewall between the Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM Manager.
We would need to find an API that identifies the ssh tunnel used to reach a specific host, also how to authenticate.

Thanks. I'll investigate VNC, its is a bit of a pain getting the VNC server port and setting up the tunnel. Thanks for looking.
