I updated the release from 4:12 to 4.12.1, I did a refresh of vm but I do not see the possibility of using the vnc. I have to remove all or is there a procedure to follow? ---

This new feature will only apply to newly imported VMs, you will need to reimport these VMs. ---

Since the VMs are already imported, OpenNebula won’t offer to reimport them again. There are various ways to work around this, probably the easier would be to erase OpenNebula DB (by default in /var/lib/one/one.db), although you’d lose all the infomration of the VMs in OpenNebula. ---

The vCenter VM needs to have enabled the VNC in the .vmx file: remoteDisplay.vnc.enabled = “TRUE” remoteDisplay.vnc.password = “password” remoteDisplay.vnc.port = “59xx” ---

Yes, you need that for each VM that needs VNC access, before importing it to OpenNebula
