Bug Description
Hi,
I observed an error in documentation regarding the configuration
needed to be done on additional compute-nodes in order to allow vnc
access to instances.
From what I understood from doc you just have to copy nova.conf on
additional nodes.
However there are some changes to made in the nova.conf of the node
you want to add or the cloud.
The parameters to be changed
are:--
If on the cloud master they have the values:
--vncserver_
--vncserver_
On the newly added compute node they have to be:
--vncserver_
--vncserver_
From my testing and small understanding ....:) these values are as such:
-vncserver_listen is the address that you will find in libvirt.xml
corresponding to the instance started on this server. If you put a
value different from the ip addresses on this server the instances
won't come up.
-vncserver_
will associate with the requested token.
I don't know if I explained clearly enough so I will give an example.
I have 2 servers in my cloud, node01(
node02(
vncserver_
instance on node02 vnc will direct me to $ip_cloud_
is an old instance created on node01. If If on node02 the value
vncserver_
instance on node02 vnc will direct me to $ip_compute_
is what I am looking for. BINGO!!
Regards,
Gabriel

Thanks for your report!
So, I can see the configuration options relatively well explained at: docs.openstack. org/trunk/ openstack- compute/ admin/content/ important- nova-compute- options. html
http://
However, in the actually "installation" part of that document, at: docs.openstack. org/trunk/ openstack- compute/ admin/content/ nova-vncproxy- replaced- with-nova- novncproxy. html
http://
does not really carry this through, and could use some examples.
