      Is it possible to open the VM Console in a new window? Or only as an embedded one within the XO webpage?

        Have you tried the relatively new "SSH" and "SSH as..." buttons?

            Hi,

            This functionality is not been yet implemented, It will be available in Xen Orchestra V6. There is the associated issue, please follow it to get its evolution.

              For me, the SSH buttons are greyed out. I only have the option of the keyboard of Ctrl+Alt+Del
              Thanks.

                Thank you @olivierlambert as well. I have added that project and wil keep a watch on it as it develops.

                I have sever servers setup now, now I need to figure out how to work with the SDN Controller fo experiment with that functionality.

                  @Jarvar I think we are talking about two different features. The one I referenced will launch an external SSH app, such as PuTTY. This should be working now, so unsure why your buttons would be disabled.

                    This is the window I get for my VMs. I can access it if I open up Putty or Bitevise, but those are extra steps.
                    I am familiar with Proxmox which allows me to just open up a console of the VM directly from their Web GUI, although no copy/paste function while using QEMU...

                      @Jarvar Guessing that you don't have the Guest Tools installed. If you hover the mouse pointer over the button, it should give you a reason it is disabled.

                        I'm not exactly sure how to install the guest tools. I see the iso, but am I supposed to install it in the XCP-ng OS or in each individual VM that I create?
                        Thanks.

                          @Jarvar You install them in each VM. See here for more details.
