hi,

> Or you could just point your web browser at the XCP host and access the console through the developer's page :).

i heard that it used to work with the previous versions.
does it work with xcp 0.1.1 as well?  as far as i tried, it didn't.

5. XCP  0.1.1 doesn't put the host's debug web site stuff back in the right place. If you install or upgrade to 0.1.1 and connect to the host, you get a page with two XenServer links and nothing else. To restore the debug stuff so you can use the virtual machine console functionality, do the following:

mv /opt/xensource/www /opt/xensource/www.old
ln -s /opt/xensource/debug/www /opt/xensource/www

You could also install openxencenter, it provides for console also
