RE: [Xen-users] XCP - how to connect to a VMs console

It's much harder than it needs to be. There's even a proposed Google summer of
code project to make it simpler!

You have several options:
1. install openxencenter on your workstation and point it at your XCP box
2. install xvp (www.xvpsource.org)
3. use the builtin web interface
4. use /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole
For (3) there's a minor screwup in the 0.1.1 XCP dom0 filesystem. You can
correct it by:
mv /opt/xensource/www /opt/xensource/www.backup
mv /opt/xensource/debug/www /opt/xensource/www
After that you can point your web-browser at your XCP's management IP address,
login, select consoles and see consoles via the Java viewer.
For (4) [this is a bit of a hack] use 'list_domains' to find the domid of your
debian lenny, use 'ps axf' to find the 'vncterm' process which is serving the
console, kill the vncterm process and then use:
/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole <domid>
