Description

The new EC2 Serial Console is supported on the required AWS Connector instance type of t3.xlarge.
However, by default the Connectors are configured to use a key-pair to access CLI instead of a username and password so there are no credentials that can be used to login to the Serial Console. 

Procedure

NOTE: This has to be done when there is SSH access to the Connector. If SSH is broken and this has not been setup previously this will not work. 

  1. SSH to the Connector 
  2. From the CLI run "sudo passwd root"
  3. Enter and confirm the new root password
  4. From AWS EC2 page, right-click on the Connector VM 
  5. Under "Monitor and Troubleshoot" choose "EC2 Serial Console"
  6. A new window will open with the Serial Console
  7. You will be prompted to login. Use "root" and the password that was set above in step 3.
