Abstract

A method for creation of a secured connection for an inoperable virtual machine includes receiving a token at an on-host service running on an inoperable virtual machine ('VM') on a server. The token is generated by a remote service person. The method includes receiving a user generated password from a user having direct access to the on-host service. The method includes creating a secured connection, using the token and password, between the on-host service and a remote server of the service person. The method includes transmitting a VM identifier of the inoperable VM to the user and receiving communications from the remote server. The communications include commands for the inoperable VM. The service person accesses the on-host service and inoperable VM using the VM identifier and the password. The password and VM identifier are transmitted to the service person by the user via a channel separate from the secured connection.
