You can connect remotely to a machine from the vRealize Automation console.

Running Actions for Provisioned Resources
The actions that are available for a provisioned resource depend on the type of resource, how the action
was configured and made available for provisioned items, and the operational state of the item.
The configured actions that are available for a provisioned machine or deployment appear in the Actions
menu for the selected resource on the Items tab.
If the item was provisioned by IaaS using an IaaS machine blueprint, the list of available actions is
determined by what was selected on the Actions tab for the machine type component when the blueprint
was created, and then by what is applicable based on machine type or state.
If the item was provisioned using an XaaS blueprint, the resource actions must be created, published,
and entitled in the same service that is used to provision the item. The list of available actions is
determined by the item type and the current state of the item.
The available actions for an item that was provisioned as an IaaS machine might also include XaaS
resource actions if the actions are mapped to the item.
