The information necessary to use a virtual machine is as shown below.
The following information is sent to platform providers through a deployment completion email for each virtual machine.
Information | Description |
|---|---|
The IP address of the virtual machine | A private IP address. |
Login user ID | The user name of the OS administrator of the virtual machine. |
Login password | The password of the OS administrator of the virtual machine. Use this when the OS type of the virtual machine is Linux. |
Key Pair Name | A key pair created by platform providers after a platform is created is used. When the OS type of the virtual machine is Linux, use the private key of the key pair for SSH login authentication. |
Operation of Key Pairs
The following is an operation example of a key pair used by platform providers for each task.
In the [Platform Management] window of the Cloud Management portal, platform providers select the menu for K5 and request the addition of a platform.
After addition of the platform is completed, a platform provider selects the platform added using the [Platform Management] window and then creates a key pair from the [Platform Details] window.
A notification email of creation completion of the key pair is sent to the email address linked with the platform.
Platform providers download the key pair from the Details window of [Platform Management] and store it in a secure location.
Note
When [Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration] is enabled in a Windows Sever environment, it may not be possible to download files using Internet Explorer.
Accessing Virtual Machines
Depending on the OS type, use the following methods to access a virtual machine:
For Windows
Platform providers are notified of the IP addresses of virtual machines, login user IDs, and login passwords through a deployment completion email sent for each virtual machines.
Platform provider users use the notified login user IDs and passwords to log in to virtual machines from a remote desktop.
For Linux
Platform providers are notified of the IP address of the virtual machine, login user ID, and key pair name through a deployment completion email sent for each virtual machine.
Confirm that the key pair name displayed in the [Platform Details] window matches the notified key pair name.
If the key pair has not been downloaded, download it from the [Platform Details] window.
Log in to the notified IP address using a command supporting SSH communication or a terminal emulator, entering the notified user name and the private key of the key pair.
