VNC configuration options

Table 2.18. Description of configuration options for vnc
Configuration option=Default value	Description
novncproxy_base_url=http://127.0.0.1:6080/vnc_auto.html	(StrOpt) location of vnc console proxy, in the form "http://127.0.0.1:6080/vnc_auto.html"
vnc_enabled=True	(BoolOpt) enable vnc related features
vnc_keymap=en-us	(StrOpt) keymap for vnc
vnc_password=None	(StrOpt) VNC password
vnc_port=5900	(IntOpt) VNC starting port
vnc_port_total=10000	(IntOpt) Total number of VNC ports
vncserver_listen=127.0.0.1	(StrOpt) IP address on which instance vncservers should listen
vncserver_proxyclient_address=127.0.0.1	(StrOpt) the address to which proxy clients (like nova-xvpvncproxy) should connect

	Note
	To support live migration, you cannot specify a specific IP address for `vncserver_listen`, because that IP address does not exist on the destination host.

Note

The vncserver_proxyclient_address defaults to 127.0.0.1, which is the address of the compute host that nova instructs proxies to use when connecting to instance servers.

For all-in-one XenServer domU deployments, set this to 169.254.0.1.

For multi-host XenServer domU deployments, set to a dom0 management IP on the same network as the proxies.

For multi-host libvirt deployments, set to a host management IP on the same network as the proxies.
