Hi, I am new to XCP. I have already installed the XCP on my host, and created VMs successfully with Xen Center. But the problem is, i can not see the VM''s Graphic Display such as Windows XP on my host(which installed the XCP) I want to know, is there any method that I can see the VM''s Graphic Display on the host(which installed the XCP). Please give me some help. thanks.
Hi, XenCenter has a tab called "console" where shows the display for each VM. Maybe OpenXenManager and/or XenWebManager can help you for this.

On my XCP console, when I type: xenstore-ls /local/domain/DOM-ID/serial/0 I only get the "tty = /dev/pts/x" output, and NOT the vnc-port. I changed that command to: xenstore-ls /local/domain/DOM-ID/console and I get the vnc port I need to use tunneling. Tunneling works great because SSH and VNC are ubiquitous clients, so I can get to the consoles from just about anywhere. On my main workstation though, I use XenCenter. Works for 95% of what I need so far. The console fills in the other 5% nicely.

HVM do supports very slow emulation of S3 video card (graphics). I''m not sure if anyone anytime thought about implementing fast local graphic. May be PV drivers will hepls a little, but not much, because they don''t support for any 2D/3D acceleration. Display you getting in XenCenter enough to configure your server. If you need fast graphic - use RDP, VNC, ICA=Metaframe Presentation Server (it naming right now XenApp, it completely different technology from Xen and have nothing in common), radmin and so on. Those services must be configured inside virtual machine and ''how to do this'' is not topic here (google://configure RDP).

The OP wanted to know how to connect to his HVM Windows XP console. The instructions you linked didn''t return the needed VNC port on XCP 1.1 for a HVM. Is "xenstore-ls /local/domain/DOM-ID/console" the wrong way to get the VNC port? All I know is that it worked for me. If it''s not right, please let me know what is the correct way, as I already updated that WIKI based on my test results.

Well... I''m actually not really on HVM domains (we running only PV in our cloud). You can see vncterm in ''netstat -lnp'' output (in dom0). Which one can be guessed by probing or try to dig to xenstore to find correct one. I think it must be somewhere there.> All I know is that it worked for me.

Today I installed my first PV domain (Thanks to Grant). I went looking for the VNC port using this method, and sure enough as George suggested it was under /serial for a PV. I updated the wiki to include instructions for both. http://wiki.xensource.com/wiki/Xen_Cloud_Platform:_Access_to_VM_console
