VNX Console Commands
Two commands are provided in VNX to manage virtual machine consoles: "--console", to open the consoles; and "--console-info" to show information about them.
Besides, two options are used to modify the behaviour of the commands: "--cid" to specify consoles identifiers (con0, con1, etc) and restrict the command to a specific console; and "-M" to specify a virtual machine or a list of virtual machines the command applies to.
- Show information about the consoles of an scenario:
sudo vnx -f scenario.xml -v --console-info
sudo vnx -f scenario.xml -v --console
only the consoles with the 'display' attribute set to 'yes' are opened.
sudo vnx -f scenario.xml -v --console
When using the "--cid" option to identify a specific console, the consoles are opened independently of the value of the 'display' attribute.
sudo vnx -f scenario.xml -v --console
When using the "--cid" option to identify a specific console, the consoles are opened independently of the value of the 'display' attribute.
