> In the "Working with System VMs" section of the Admin Guide, there is no "Accessing System VMs" section. There should be one, similar to the "Accessing VMs" section in the earlier "Working with Virtual Machines" section. You can access system VMs through the UI, in the Infrastructure tab. You can also ssh in, using the following techniques.
> To access a system VM directly over the network, use one of the following techniques, depending on the hypervisor.
> XenServer or KVM:
> SSH in by using the link local IP address of the system VM. For example, in the command below, substitute your own path to the private key used to log in to the system VM and your own link local IP.
> Run the following command on the XenServer or KVM host on which the system VM is present:
> # ssh -i <private-key-path> <link-local-ip> -p 3922
> Now you can run commands on the system VM. For example, to check the software version:
> # cat /etc/cloudstack-release
> The output should be like the following:
> Cloudstack Release 4.0 Mon Feb 6 15:10:04 PST 2013
> ESXi:
> SSH in using the private IP address of the system VM. For example, in the command below, substitute your own path to the private key used to log in to the system VM and your own private IP.
> Run the following command on the Management Server:
> # ssh -i <private-key-path> <private-ip> -p 3922
> Now you can run commands on the system VM. For example, to check the software version:
> # cat /etc/cloudstack-release
> The output should be like the following:
> Cloudstack Release 4.0 Mon Feb 6 15:10:04 PST 2013
