Working with a VM on the Proxmox box

[LinuxMan]

Hi, i'm new to Proxmox. I've installed Provmox VE 1.8. Then i created a VM and installed Debian Squeeze on it. And now i like to run this new VM to work with Debian Squeeze. I've searched at all Proxmox sites (wiki, dokumentation, videos, etc.) how to use a VM from the Proxmox console but didn't find it. Starting the VM with qm start ID i've found. But which command i need to switch into the VM?

Hi,
depends on the type of vm.

If it's are kvm based, you can use a webbrowser from a second computer, connect to the proxmox host and select console (at the red arrow) from the VM. If your network is working (on the VM), you can of course use ssh.

If the vm is openvz based, you can also use the webfrontend for the console, but you can also go "into" the machine from the proxmox-host with "vzctl enter VMID".
See "man vzctl".

Hi Udo, that's right, i forgot to note the used vm. I have installed Squeeze on KVM because with KVM full hardware virtualization is possible. Using a Webbrowser to run such vm is not that what i want. It seems i need to study the KVM documentation. Or somebody have any suggestion?
