I found I have the same problem. I connect to the console of vcmp host and it opens connection to one of the guests instead. Quitting the telnet session quits the whole session, not just the guest session. I do not see a telnet session in the ps output:

[root@ABC:Standby:In Sync] config  ps | grep tty
 5315 tty1     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty1
 5339 tty2     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty2
 5346 tty3     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty3
 5356 tty4     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty4
 5384 tty5     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty5
 5435 tty6     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty6
15340 ttyS0    Ss     0:00 -bash
15971 ttyS0    S+     0:00 -bash
15972 ttyS0    S+     0:00 grep tty
15974 ttyS0    R+     0:00 /bin/ps ax

Any other idea how to disconnect from the guest and get back to the host?

Thank you for any advice,

Regards
