Assuming you have been given access, here's what you need to do:

1. Go to the job's current build page and look at the top of the console log to get the hostname (such as _vmg39.somewhere.redhat.com_) and DISPLAY variable (such as _12_).

Note that slaves named `XXX-virtY` are actually virtual machines hosted on the XXX hypervisor. There is no reason users should have access there. To access the actual slave, navigate to
