Cannot ping Console Domain or access the Web Console

Use this procedure to determine if the state of the Console Domain virtual machine is the reason why you are unable to access the System Platform Web Console.

Troubleshooting steps

About this task

The Web Console runs on the Console Domain virtual machine, so if output of the xm list command described in this procedure shows that the Console Domain virtual machine is in either a normal or abnormal shutdown state, then the administrator is likely to lose access to the Web Console.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the System Domain (Domain-0) as admin.
  2. Enter su - to log in as root.
  3. At the prompt, type xm list.

    The xm list command shows information about the running virtual machines in a Linux screen.

    You should see two virtual machines running at this time: System Domain (shown as Domain-0) and Console Domain (shown as udom in xm list).

    A state of r indicates that the virtual machine is running. A state of b indicates that the virtual machine blocked.

    NoteNote

    The blocked state does not mean that there is a problem with the virtual machine. It only means that the virtual machine is currently not using any CPU time.

    Other possible virtual machine states are:

    • p: paused

    • s: shutdown

    • c: crashed

    For more information on the information displayed, see the Linux manual page for the xm command.

  4. On the Linux screen, type exit to log off as root. Type exit again to log off from System Domain (Domain-0).
