xen, vm-install in console -- problem

[brunold]

Piotrek,

by default the vnc listen address points to 127.0.0.1 where the vncviewer connects to when you open the gui via the virt-manager. In case you want to connect from a different host, you need to adopt the vnc listen address in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp:

# cat /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
...
#(vnc-listen '127.0.0.1')
(vnc-listen '0.0.0.0')

After that you need to restart the xend and of course shutdown any running domU before. After that vnc binds allways to the loopback and the public ip and you should be able to conenct to the console of your win2008 system from a different host.
