If, for example, this guest has been assigned an ID of 2, then: - Run the following command to access the console of this virtual system:
xm console 2
You should immediately be able to view a login prompt onguest1. - Login to
guest1as root using the same password you set in the kickstart profile you used to provision the system.(There may be some messages on the screen. In this case, hit the Enter key on your keyboard to receive a fresh login prompt.) - To exit the guest console and return to the host system's command prompt, you may hit the Ctrl and ] keys on your keyboard simultaneously.
