Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Can not access VM through VNC
Hey, 

Just a pointer. Check the xend-config.sxp file and search for any options about 
VNC, there will be instructions on how to enable etc.

The file is in /etc/xen/

Best of luck,
Tait

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.
