Using CLI

Parallels Cloud Server provides a set of utilities that allow you to manage Parallels virtual machines and Containers both locally and remotely.

Connecting to Parallels Cloud Server Locally

To manage your virtual machines and Containers locally, i.e. from the same server where Parallels Cloud Server is installed, log in to the server by typing the root username and the password you provided when installing Parallels Cloud Server at the bottom of the welcome screen.

After you have successfully logged in to the server, you will see a command prompt and can start creating and managing your Parallels virtual machines and Containers using Parallels command line utilities.

Connecting to Parallels Cloud Server Remotely

To connect to Parallels Cloud Server remotely, use the IP address or hostname indicated on the server's screen. For example, you can use a Secure Shell client to connect to your Parallels server. When logging in to the server, use the root user name and the password you provided when installing Parallels Cloud Server.
