Demonstrate how to connect to XenServer/dom0 and SVM on an SDX via CLI & GUI

Instructions

• XenServer/Domain0 is the control domain, when you log into XenServer (via SSH or Console), this runs on Linux, XenServer is the Hypervisor running on the bare metal.
• SVM is the Service Virtual Machine; all management, configuration, provisioning of VM’s and monitoring is done through this component, this is the management console of the machine.

• Connecting via LOM (Lights Out Management Port).
• Connecting to the serial console.
• SSH to the dom0 IP.
• SSH to the SVM IP and then from shell, SSH to 169.254.0.1 (XenServer's Internal IP)

1. SSH to SVM IP.
2. Login to the XenServer, using one of the methods above and then:
   • ssh to SVM’s external IP, if it is in the same subnet as dom0
   • ssh to SVM’s SDX internal IP: 169.254.0.10 (SVM's Internal IP)
   • Use the command: "xl console <dom-id>"; you can get the dom-id from xl list 

1. SSH to VPX IP
2. Login to the XenServer or SVM (in Shell mode), using one of the methods above and then:
   • ssh to VPX’s NS-IP, if it is in the same subnet as dom0
   • Use: xl console <dom-id>; you can get the dom-id from xl list

1. Lastly, from the GUI of the SDX you can go to diagnostic and in the right side you will find the option to connect to Xenserver/Domain0 and SVM via console .
