Access the VM console on Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE)
Connecting to the LXC (CT) console is straightforward; simply use the command:pct enter <container_id>
.However, connecting to a VM console requires a few additional setup steps beforehand.
The process is below:
Ensure Serial Console is Configured:
Add a virtual serial port to the VM.
qm set <vmid> -serial0 socket
- Replace
<vmid>
with the ID of your virtual machine.
Adjust Console Configuration:
Ensure the VM uses a serial terminal as the display output.
qm set <vmid> -vga serial0
- This configures the display to use the serial port for terminal output.
Start the VM:
If the VM is not already running, start it using:
qm start <vmid>
Access the Console:
Use the following command to enter the QM console:
qm terminal <vmid>
- This will open a serial terminal interface for the VM.
Exit the Console:
- To exit the console, press
Ctrl + O
.
- To exit the console, press
This method works if the VM has been configured with a serial port. If encounter any issues, ensure the serial console is properly set up within the VM's configuration.
