12.4 Setting Up Direct Connections

Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator

To have the Cloud Manager console connect directly to workloads:

  1. Make sure that each VM host or VM is configured with a VNC Server.

    Depending on the hypervisor, the VM host might handle the VNC requests for the VM or the VM might handle the requests. Refer to your hypervisor documentation for information about how your hypervisor handles VNC requests to VMs.

  2. Configure the VNC Server to respond to Flash policy requests.

  3. In the Cloud Manager console, configure the remote console to use a direct connection:

    1. On the main navigation bar, click Configuration, then click the Remote Console tab.

    2. In the Connection field, select Connect directly.

    3. Click OK.
