VNC on imported vCenter VMs

Community Support
1

Hi there. I think this should be a simple one - im sure i just missed something along the way.

SO i deployed the 2.2 appliance and have imported my vcenter and a selection of machines.

I made the remotedisplay.vnc.port, ip, and enabled edits to a test VM and enabled the gdb server on all of the hosts.

I tested the VNC connection using a VNC client addressing the host the test vm was running on and it works

On the VM detail page in Nebual the console link is still disabled and if i hover over it it says “You have to boot the virtual machine first”

I have set those settings on a VM before importing as well and no change in dashboard button state.

Any advice?

Hi!
For vOneCloud related topics there’s another forum. You can submit your questions there.

https://support.vonecloud.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200215432-Community-General-Discussion2

In any case in OpenNebula, if the VNC icon is disabled while the VM is in the running state it would be caused by the absence of a GRAPHICS/TYPE attribute element set to VNC. You could check if the VM has that attribute in the template tab for the VM (using the admin vcenter view) or running a onevm show VMID -x CLI command (replacing VMID with the ID of the VM).

Let’s see if that GRAPHICS section is there and then let’s see why it’s not there :wink: because if you have a VM running in vcenter, you poweroff the VM, add the remotedisplay.* and then import a wild tab that GRAPHICS section should be there. But it would be better to use the vonecloud forum instead.

Cheers!
