If you are managing a Hardware Node with the Linux operating system installed, you can use Secure Shell (
ssh
) to remotely connect to the Node you are operating and work inside its directory tree using standard Linux command line tools. To connect to the Hardware Node by
ssh
, you should make sure that you are launching Parallels Infrastructure Manager in Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. SSH connection to the Hardware Node is supported by other browsers only if you have a Java Virtual Machine on your computer.
Note : If you are managing a Hardware Node running Windows 2003 Server, please turn to the Using Remote Desktop to Connect to Hardware Node section to learn to manage the Hardware Node by means of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
The
Terminal Login
window is opened upon clicking on the
Terminal Login
icon on the Hardware Node toolbar or dashboard. You are presented with the
Login
and
Password
fields where you should enter the relevant information (
root
or any other user name you might have created for this Node and this user's password) to be passed to the
ssh
server inside the Hardware Node.
After you have filled in these two fields, click the Login button. If you are doing this for the first time, your browser may display a window like this asking you to install additional components:
Note: When SSH-connecting to your Hardware Node using a browser other than Internet Explorer, this window does not appear. The SSH connection through browsers on the Mozilla engine is provided by the Java technology.
Click
Yes
in this window and wait for the
ssh
terminal window to appear, whereupon you get connected to the Hardware Node and may start sending commands to it via
ssh
.
