Title:
VNC console does not work with VCDriver
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series:
Fix Released
Status in The OpenStack VMwareAPI subTeam:
Fix Released
Bug description:
From testing, it seems like VNC consoles do not work with the
VCDriver.
There are actually two issues, one a doc issue, one a code issue.
1) Doc issue:
For vSphere version 5+, you need to poke a hole in the ESX firewall to
allow VNC traffic. See: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/01/using-
vnc-client-to-connect-to-vms-in.html
2) Code issue:
It seems like VNC consoles works with the ESXDriver, was not updated
for the VCDriver, as get_vnc_console returns CONF.vmwareapi_host_ip,
which is the ESX host IP with the ESXDriver, but is the vCenter host
IP with the VCDriver
(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py#L1105).
