Work on Virtual Machine

Connect to Virtual Machine

Prerequisites

Steps

1. Open the Connection Dialog

Click the Connect button on the Overview, the Assembly Page, or in the My Assemblies dropdown in the navigation bar.

2. Select a Virtual Machine and Connect

Select a VM in the opening dialog and click Web. In most cases, there will only be one option. A desktop connection to your assembly opens in a new browser tab.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Likely cause Solution
The connect dialog lists no VM No VM is assigned to the assembly Ask an admin to assign one — see Set Up a Virtual Machine
The Connect button is not available No active session on the assembly Reserve the assembly and wait for the session to become active
The desktop shows a black screen The VM is still starting up Wait a moment and refresh the browser tab
Login fails or the session closes immediately Wrong VM credentials stored in vHaaS Ask an admin to re-enter the credentials — see Manage an Existing Virtual Machine
The desktop opens but the assembly hardware is missing Device is powered off, or the assembly profile does not match the wiring Power the device on via the Assembly Manager; otherwise see Assembly Profile Integration

Connection Features

Clipboard

You can copy and paste text between your local machine and the VM in both directions.

Console Tab

The assembly page has a Console tab that gives you direct terminal access to the VM without going through the connect dialog.

Transfer your testsuite to the VM

  • You can use Gitlab or Github to clone a testsuite onto the VM. For that you have to add a SSH key to vHaaS.

Configure the Virtual Machine

To successfully send and receive messages, the channel mapping between CANoe and the VN device must be configured. This can be done within CANoe under: CANoe: Hardware -> Channel Mapping

Hint

Make sure that the VN-Interface, which is part of the Assembly is powered on. Otherwise it can`t be selected within CANoe.
