[Xen-users] Is it possible to allow multiple vnc clients to one DomU?
At present (Xen 3.2 in SLES10SP2) the second simultaneous attempt to connect by a vnc client to the same DomU just hangs. If the first vnc client closes its connection the second vnc client can make some progress. Is there a way to change this behaviour with a configuration option such that both VNC clients can connect simultaneously? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Some vnc clients may have a listen mode or the like which would be similar. Maybe this is the option you are looking for (vncviewer) -Shared When you make a connection to a VNC server, all other existing connections are normally closed. This option requests that they be left open, allowing you to share the desktop with someone already using it. Hope that helps.

If it doesn''t work on newer versions, it could just be a matter of integrating a newer qemu/vncserver into the Xen code.
