= Connecting to a Windows virtual machine with an RDP console
|
|
|
|
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides a better console experience for
|
|
connecting to Windows virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
To connect to a Windows virtual machine with RDP, specify the IP address of the
|
|
attached L2 NIC to your RDP client.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* A running Windows virtual machine with the QEMU guest agent installed. The
|
|
`qemu-guest-agent` is included in the VirtIO drivers.
|
|
* A layer 2 NIC attached to the virtual machine.
|
|
* An RDP client installed on a machine on the same network as the
|
|
Windows virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Log in to the {VirtProductName} cluster through the `oc` CLI tool as a user with
|
|
an access token.
|

|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ oc login -u <user> https://<cluster.example.com>:8443
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Use `oc describe vmi` to display the configuration of the running
|
|
Windows virtual machine.
|
|
+
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ oc describe vmi <windows-vmi-name>

|
. Identify and copy the IP address of the layer 2 network interface. This is
|
|
`192.0.2.0` in the above example, or `2001:db8::` if you prefer IPv6.
|
|
. Open an RDP client and use the IP address copied in the previous step for the
|
|
connection.
|
|
. Enter the *Administrator* user name and password to connect to the
|
|
Windows virtual machine.
