Xen users - Mar 2008 - VNC for Dom U

Hi,

Could any one please tell me a proper way to access my DomU using VNC. 

I saw a thread related to this topic, but that did not seem to have the right
thing.

I am using Xen 3.2 (compiled from source) on top of FC8-64bit. I am using a 

jailtime.org file system image for FC 64 bit as my Dom U.

Thanks
DM

If you are using xen 3.1 or higher, just add a line that looks something 
similar to this to your vm config file.

vfb = [''type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncunsed=1'']

This uses the virtual frame buffer functionality in newer versions of 
xen. It sets the type of the vfb to be vnc and tells the vnc server to 
listen on all interfaces and use the first unused port above 5900. By 
default, if you don''t define a listen address, xend will start the vnc 
server only listening on loopback. If you have the xmexample files that 
I think come with the source, they give some documentation on how to use 
the vfb option.

Ubuntu 7.10 Dom0 following standard instructions for
OpenSolaris.
