Hi
first of all thanks for the previous inputs. i am able to see the output using vncviewer. but when i see into vnc window setup i not running i am getting cd rom problem as bellow: CDROM boot failure code : 0002
boot  from cdrom failed
FATAL:  Could you read boot disk

kindly help again
thanks


oh, your config is slightly outdated ;) the cdrom='' statement is obsolete.
use the disk line instead, like:

disk = [
        'file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,ioemu:hda,w',
        'file:/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'
        ]

on recent xen versions, i prefer:

disk = [
        'file:/root/xenimages/WS128.img,xvda,w',
        'file:/tmp/en_windows_server_2003_standard.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r'
        ]


hope this helps.

    this keeps the remote mousepointer better in sync.


    also check /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

    if you want to connect to your vnc, the server should listen on all
    interfaces

    (vnc-listen '0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0>')
    the default is 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> for security reasons.

    alternatively, install a vncviewer in your dom0 and connect via ssh
    -X to get
    X11 forwarded.
