[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#744157: VNC parameters can be set only globally using xl

[Matyas Koszik]

Package: xen-utils-4.1
Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1

Switching to the xl toolstack I expected my configuration to
work unmodified, but it doesn't, and I couldn't find any documentation
regarding this, since xl.cfg(5) is missing.


Original version, used with xm:
vfb = ['type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0:6369,vncdisplay=6369,vncpasswd=x']

Working xl version:
vnclisten="0.0.0.0:6369"
vncpasswd="x"

Without the globally set VNC parameters the VNC server listens on
127.0.0.1:5900 when the domain is started with xl create.


Complete configuration which doesn't produce the expected result using xl:

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
vfb = ['type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0:6369,vncdisplay=6369,vncpasswd=x']
memory = 256
name = "x"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'vifname=x,mac=00:16:3e:00:01:0d,ip=x' ]
disk = [ 'phy:x,hda,w', ]
