Log into OpenNebula

As a CipherSpace vDC customer, you have received a website address as well as your username and temporary password.

Type in your browser the website address. You should see the following screen:

You will then arrive on the Dashboard screen, from where you will then be able to access the various OpenNebula functions.

Type and confirm your new password and click on “Change”. You can now log in using your new password.

View Change

A vDC user has access to two different user interfaces: the “User” view and the “Cloud” view. The “User” view allows the user to access the more advanced functionalities of OpenNebula. The “Cloud” view is a simplified user interface, which allows a user to deploy virtual machines (VMs) and to monitor and manage the running VMs as well as other limited functionalities.

To change to the “Cloud” view, start from the “Configuration” Screen (see Password Change) and click on “Conf”:

Click on “Views:” and select the “cloud” view:

And then click on “Update config”. You are now in the cloud view:

To go back to the “User” view, click on your username at the top-right of the screen:

408x228px

Then click on “Change view”:

Click on “cloud”, then select “user” and finish by clicking on “Update view”. You are now back to the “User” view.

View Quotas

You can see how much of your vDC is used either on the Dashboard under Quotas:

Or in the Configuration screen by clicking on “Quotas” and then clicking on “Group Quotas”:

408x193px

Accounting

You can see how many resources you have been using the “Accounting” function. You can access it either from the Dashboard (under the “Quotas” information) or in the Configuration screen by clicking on “Accounting”:

Select a time period and click on “Get Accounting”. A similar screen appears with the corresponding information.
