This section explains the configuration to perform when using the console connection function to connect to servers using the [L-Platforms] tab of the ROR console.
Enabling the console connection function displays the [Console] button for connecting to the console of the target server when a server is selected on the L-Platform details screen.
The procedure for configuration is shown below.
Point
This function enables tenant administrators and tenant users to connect to the console of the VM management software from the L-Platform Details screen in order to perform emergency server maintenance.
As tenant administrators and tenant users are able to access VM hosts, the infrastructure administrator should consider the system as having a multi-tenant configuration, and modify the security settings as appropriate in order to prevent any potential risks to secure operation.
When using VMware vSphere 6.5 or later, also configure the "9.18 Settings for the Console Connection Function (VMware vSphere 6.5 or later) [Windows Manager]".
Refer to the following manual, and enable the console connection function from the admin client.
"17.3 Using the L-Server Console" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE"
Use an editor to open the settings file.
The settings file is stored in the following location.
