C Supported console operations on the CloudSystem
appliances
CloudSystem provides a command line interface accessible from the management hypervisor
console underlying the Foundation base appliance, Enterprise appliance, and vCenter Server proxy
appliance. You can use the hypervisor console to access the appliance console to perform the
supported tasks listed in CloudSystem appliance console tasks (page 200).
Enable console access and set the password
Use the following csadmin console-users CLI commands to enable console access for cloud
administrator users and to set the password. The csadmin console-users commands are
supported on the CloudSystem Foundation base appliance, the Enterprise appliance, and the proxy
appliances.
Procedure 86 Enabling console access
This command enables access to the console of the specified appliance.
1. On a Windows or Linux system where csadmin is run, open a command shell.
2. Enter the following command:
csadmin console-users enable --vm-name <VM name>
<VM name>—Name of the CloudSystem appliance to be accessed by the cloud administrator
user from a hypervisor console. This name is set in csstart or in the Foundation console
during first time setup.
Example
csadmin console-users enable --vm-name esx_iscapp01 --os-username adminuser --os-password adminpassword
--os-auth-url 192.0.0.1 --insecure
Procedure 87 Setting the password for console access
This command sets the password for the cloud administrator user (cloudadmin) on the specified
appliance. You can set a different password for each appliance on which you enabled access.
1. On the csadmin command line, enter the following command:
csadmin console-users set-password --password <password> --vm-name <VM name>
• <password>—Password for cloudadmin on the specified appliance.
• <VM name>—Name of the CloudSystem appliance to be accessed by the cloud
administrator user from a hypervisor console. This name is set in csstart or in the
Foundation console during first time setup.
Example
csadmin console-users set-password --vm-name esx_iscapp01 --password password --os-username adminuser
--os-password adminpassword --os-auth-url 192.0.0.1 --insecure
2. To shorten command syntax by automatically applying command permissions, see Configure
a CLI shell to ease secure access when using csadmin (page 192).
Using the CloudSystem appliances console
This section describes how to use the hypervisor console to access the appliance consoles and
perform supported actions.
Logging in to the appliance consoles
After the console is enabled for a given appliance and you have access to the appliance console,
you can log in to the appliance by specifying the cloudadmin user name and the password set
in the csadmin console-users set-password command. Make sure you have set a password
for the appliance you are trying to access.
Procedure 88 Logging in to the appliance consoles
