[Xen-users] One computer. Want to use the gui of the guest os on the xen server laptop.
I have a laptop. I have xen server install and am running a xen vm host in it. I would like to use the xen vm host gui on that same laptop. I have been VNC''ing in from another computer up to now. Can I simply use that one computer somehow? I''m guessing that this might depend on the xen server I''m using (Oracle VM Server, and Oracle Enterprise Linux (not my first choice, but obliged to from the customer!)) thx. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/One-computer.--Want-to-use-the-gui-of-the-guest-os-on-the-xen-server-laptop.-tp20613529p20613529.html Sent from the Xen - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

RE: [Xen-users] One computer. Want to use the gui of the guest os onthe xen server laptop.
Do you mean to VNC to the Xen host from the client that is running in it? With vanilla Xen you can access the host machine through the gateway IP of the network the client is running in. Ie. if your client received 192.168.122.60 as an IP from Xend, you can access the xend host through IP 192.168.122.1. I have done this on RHEL and it worked out of the box. I do not know whether OEL supports this as well -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of ftravers Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 8:18 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] One computer.

RE: [Xen-users] One computer. Want to use the gui of the guest os onthe xen server laptop.
Not exactly. When I run the xen guest operating system from the xen host, I have to VNC into the xen host which redirects me into the guest operating system I started up. However, I have to VNC into the xen host from another computer. What I would like to do is to do it all from one machine, that is use the guest operating system from the actual xen host computer. So all I ever have is one computer, not two (xen host plus guest and other computer running the VNC client.) I''m running xen on a laptop and would like to boot up the guest OS''s and be able to use them as though I only had the guest OS installed. Maybe there is a really easy way to do this, I''m self teaching about xen, and haven''t run across this yet. But, coming over from VMWare this is a very normal use case. That is to have only one computer and to run the guest as you would if it were the only thing installed to that machine. Thanks for any info on this! ft Slootbeek_Jule wrote:> > Do you mean to VNC to the Xen host from the client that is running in > it? > With vanilla Xen you can access the host machine through the gateway IP > of the network the client is running in. > Ie. if your client received 192.168.122.60 as an IP from Xend, you can > access the xend host through IP 192.168.122.1. > I have done this on RHEL and it worked out of the box.

You just run your guest, then connect with vnc client on the same host, to the guest again on the same host. Or better, you can enable XDMCP in the guest, then logoff from host and logon to that XDMCP session on your guest, using the GDM or KDM on your host. You may also choose to just initiate a new session in your Gnome or KDE.
