[Xen-users] [Solved] Xen fixed VNC Ports -- HVM and PV

[Bruno Bertechini <bruno.bertechini@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

 

In case of someone else is trying to do the same configuration as mine, I stated below the steps to configure HVM and PV’s domains to use FIXED VNC Ports (instead of having Xen automatically assign one unused port based on domain id):

 

For HVM’s:

 

vnc=1               # Enable VNC

vncconsole=0    # Don’t start vncviewer after “create” the domain

vncunused=0     # Don’t automatically assign unused port based on domain id

vncdisplay=2     # VNC Port Number to be added to “59”. e.g.:  vncdisplay=2  : port=5902 ,  vncdisplay=30 : port 5930

 

For PV’s

 

vfb=["type=vnc,vncunused=0,vncdisplay=44"]

 

Same configuration items from HVM’s, but the config lines are different. They should be inside the vfb property. (Do not need any other line).

 

It makes xen understand it and assign correct ports:

 

lsof –i | grep 59

 

qemu-dm  10052             root    7u  IPv4  22548       TCP 127.0.0.1:5926 (LISTEN)

qemu-dm  11059             root    6u  IPv4  24794       TCP 127.0.0.1:5944 (LISTEN)

qemu-dm  11551             root    7u  IPv4  25447       TCP 127.0.0.1:5923 (LISTEN)

 

I hope it helps J
