Re: Remote access to the windows virtual machine

 

Hi,

From the openstack documentation: (http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/faq-about-vnc.html)

A: These values are hard-coded in a Django HTML template. To alter them, you must edit the template file _detail_vnc.html. The location of this file will vary based on Linux distribution. On Ubuntu 12.04, the file can be found at/usr/share/pyshared/horizon/dashboards/nova/templates/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/_detail_vnc.html.
Modify the width and height parameters:
<iframe src="{{ vnc_url }}" width="720" height="430"></iframe>

Regards,
Gabriel

For windows, you could add TCP port 3389 to your security group and enable remote desktop access in windows.  The VNC console access in Horizon is really intended for administrative/management access rather than production usage.
