Hello,

 

            I do not use such configuration form, but I know, than in the classical form You must define something like

vnc=1

vncunused=0

vncdisplay=4

vnclisten=’10.0.0.1’

 

and in this case You will connect to the port 5904 on address 10.0.0.1.

BUT: The port specified by vnclisten is ignored if You do not specify vncunused=0 – in other cases Xen (at least version 3.1.0) will allocate the port randomly.

After You started the domain, You can see by

netstat –a –n

what ports are allocated – it there something from 5900 I think, this will be then Your port and You can try to connect to it.

 

Maybe this will be similar situation here...

 

Archie

Subject: [Xen-users] Can not access VM through VNC

 

Hi,
    I am trying to create a Para Virtualized Virtual Machine using a linux distribution ISO. I need to create it using XML-RPCs. If, I use virt-install to create VM it gives me a VNC port on which I can access the machine. But, if I use XML-RPCs to create VM and then start it using 'xm start <domain Name>', the machine can not be accessed on the VNC port specified in the XML dump. I am pasting the XML dumps created by both the methods.

XML dump using virt-install

XML dump using XML-RPC and then 'xm create'

                  Finally, I need to create the VM's using XML-RPCs and access it on VNC. Any pointers ?

Thanks,
Sachin.
