9.5 Using the Virtual Console
Each virtual machine has its own virtual console from which to power on or off the virtual
machine, boot the guest operating system or shut it down, and so on. The hpvmconsole command
connects to the virtual console of a specified virtual machine.
To start the virtual console for the guest named host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmconsole -P host1
vMP MAIN MENU
CO: Console
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Log
SL: Show Event Logs
VM: Virtual Machine Menu
HE: Main Help Menu
X: Exit Connection
[host1] vMP>
To return to the virtual console when the display is in the EFI, press Ctr/B. Use the co command
to open the virtual console. For example:
[host1] vMP> co
You can pass a command to the virtual machine console using the —c option to the hpvmconsole
command. For example, to start a virtual machine named host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmconsole -P host1 -c "pc -on"
Table 9-2 lists the options to the hpvmconsole command.
