Hello,  
I am setting up opennebula on two node cluster (One Head and one Worker node).  
I have completed all the installation and configuration part, but stuck at VM creation.  
My problem is that I am not able to create more then one VM. If I have one VM which is in running state, all the remaining will go to failed state.  
log file for that:

`Tue Mar 1 09:45:28 2016 [DiM][I]: New VM state is ACTIVE. Tue Mar 1 09:45:28 2016 [LCM][I]: New VM state is PROLOG.

I have checked all the file permissions (actually gave all the files in /var/lib/one/, “u+rwx” permission).  
And libvirtd is running on worker node.

Thank you.

I would suggest to check VNC configuration in your VM template. Maybe “VNC troubleshooting” section in [that](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/sunstone_gui/sunstone.html#configuration) guide will help you.

Thanks a lot knawnd,  
I disabled the VNC and the VM’s created just fine. Will try to configure VNC later on, but for now, my system is up and running. Thanks. 🙂

Just in case you haven’t already figured out, this is because two VMs using  
the same VNC port, review the GRAPHICS section of your templates, specially  
PORT.

Yes, I figured that out. That was the reason I was getting “Address already in use” error. Thanks any way Ruben. 🙂
