Hypervisor Host connect since 2026.2

Hi alexanderjakob,

Thanks for the report, and for the screenshots, that helps a lot.

You're right that the flow changed: it looks like the direct connect action that used to sit on the Hyper-V Dashboard entry itself now requires opening the Hyper-V Dashboard first, then connecting to the host from inside it. Before I bring this to our developer team, could you share a couple of details so we look into the right place:

• The exact RDM version/build you're on now, and the last version where the direct connect button was still there (for example 2026.1.x.x vs 2026.2.x.x)?

• Which workspace type this entry belongs to: DVLS, SQL Server, Cloud, or a local data source?

Once I have that, I'll check with the team whether this is expected behavior from a recent interface update or something worth revisiting.

Best regards,

Hello,

sorry for the late answer, i was on Vacation and after i forgot over work.

RDM Version: it changed as far as i can tell with 2026.2 (all 2026.1 versions are the "old" way)

Workspace: local Data Source

Hi alexanderjakob,

Thanks for the details. Good news, you can get the button back yourself. Since 2026.2 the Actions panel on the dashboard is customizable:

1. Select your Hyper-V Dashboard entry.

2. Right-click the Actions panel and choose Customize actions… (you can also reach it from File > Settings > User interface > Dashboard).

3. Pick the Hyper-V dashboard type, then tick the action to open the hypervisor host.

4. Click OK, then click somewhere else and back on the entry so the panel refreshes.

The host connection should then be available directly in Actions again, like in 2026.1.

If you don't see Customize actions…, please let me know your exact RDM build.

Let me know if that works for you.

Best regards,
