Connection Assignments

For meaningful actions to be performed with the server, connections must be assigned. The following connections are supported:

  • PXE
  • DHCP
  • IPMI
  • Web resetter (TELEJET)
  • PDU
  • Switch port
  • Proxmox
  • VMware
  • Hetzner Cloud
  • Hetzner Dedicated
  • OVH / Kimsufi / SYS
  • myLoc / Webtropia / Servdiscount
  • NovoServe (only power management supported)
  • Tailor Made Servers

Remote Agents

For most connections you can choose which remote agent is responsible for handling the connection. You can choose this for each connection assignment separately.

Features

You can enable different features on each connection. The features are usually presented in the form of a checkbox.

Features would be, for example, a permanent DHCP lease or power control.

Switch Ports / PDU

To assign switch / PDU ports, you must first add the device to Tenantos.

Once the switch / PDU has been added, you can add a connection to the servers:

  1. Open the server detail page.
  2. Click on "Configuration" in the navigation menu.
  3. Click on the "Add Connection" button and select the type you want to add.
  4. Fill out the form and click on the "Add" button.

Proxmox / VMware

You must first add access to the virtualization platform so that you can assign such a connection.

External Providers (OVH, etc.)

To assign an external provider, you need to add the API credentials. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the "External Providers" page.
  2. Add the API credentials for the external provider.

Once the external provider has been added, you can add a connection to the servers:

  1. Open the server detail page.
  2. Click on "Configuration" in the navigation menu.
  3. Click on the "Add Connection" button and select the provider you want to add.
  4. In the dialog that appears, select the account you added, fill out the form, and enable any desired features such as power control.

For most external providers, you only need to enter the server ID of the other side. The following explains how to find out the server ID.

Proxmox

The "KVM Server ID" is the VM ID which you can find after you have logged in at the Proxmox panel.

2000 (the-hostname.com) - the VM ID is 2000.

VMware

ESXi

To find the "VM ID" value in VMware ESXi, log in to the ESXi panel and open the detail page of the virtual server you want to add to Tenantos. The VM ID can be found in the URL, as shown in the following example:

https://vmware/ui/#/host/vms/85 - the VM ID is 85.

vSphere

To find the "VM ID" value in VMware vSphere, log in to the vSphere panel and open the detail page of the virtual server you want to add to Tenantos. The VM ID can be found in the URL, as shown in the following example:

https://vmware/ui/app/vm;nav=h/urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:vm-3038:f3342ccb-2609-4118-8e98-986caa15e3dc/summary - the VM ID is "vm-3038"

OVH

To locate the server ID at OVH, refer to the service name on this page. The service name will typically be in a format like ns1111111.ip-37-180-0.eu.

Hetzner Dedicated

To locate the server ID at Hetzner, refer to the ID on this page. When inserting the ID, do not include the "#" symbol. For example:

EX42-NVMe #1234567 - the server ID is 1234567.

Hetzner Cloud

To locate the Server ID for a cloud server at Hetzner, refer to the URL when you open the server in the Hetzner console. For example:

https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects/111111/servers/1234567/overview - the server ID is 1234567.

MyLoc

To locate the Server ID at MyLoc, log in to customer-interface.com. The Server ID is a numeric value that will be visible once you are logged in.
