I need to connect with an instance which is created in a VMware based eucalyptus cloud platform but i don't understand how to do it? - eucalyptus

Question

Connect to instance: i-38942195
To connect to your instance, be sure security group my-test-security-group has TCP port 22 open to inbound traffic and then perform the following steps (these instructions do not apply if you did not select a key pair when you launched this instance):
Open an SSH terminal window.
Change your directory to the one where you stored your key file my-test-keypair.pem
Run the following command to set the correct permissions for your key file:
chmod 400 my-test-keypair.pem
Connect to your instance via its public IP address by running the following command:
ssh -i my-test-keypair.pem root#192.168.0.29

Answer 1

Eucalyptus no longer supports VMware, but to generally troubleshoot instance connectivity you would first check that you are using a known good image such as those available via:
# python <(curl -Ls https://eucalyptus.cloud/images)
and ensure that the instance booted correctly:
# euca-get-console-output i-38942195
if that looks good (check for instance meta-data access for the SSH key) then check that the security group rules are correct, and that the instance is running using the expected security group and SSH key.
