Description Jason Guiditta 2017-03-13 15:05:57 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1416994 +++

Description of problem:
tripleo templates have hard-coded vncserver_listen value

this behavior causes vnc to listen on all ports on compute servers, including the routable ip, allowing connections from anybody.  We would like to set this like: vncserver_proxyclient_address to the internapi network

/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/puppet/manifests/overcloud_compute.pp

if str2bool(hiera('nova::use_ipv6', false)) {
  $vncserver_listen = '::0'
} else {
  $vncserver_listen = '0.0.0.0'
}
class { '::nova::compute::libvirt' :
  vncserver_listen => $vncserver_listen,
}

It's not possible to override this value with yaml parameters

How reproducible:
Alaways

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openstack-tripleo-heat-templates
2. Look at the code
3.

Actual results:
Cannot override

Expected results:
Would like to override

David, this is not a bug but a feature.
If you want Live Migration to work, the vncserver_listen must be 0.0.0.0. Otherwise, your VM console won't be available anymore when you migrate your VM to another compute.

You can find some documentation here that confirms what I just wrote:
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/compute-remote-console-access.html

I'm closing the bug.

Emilien,  We've tested this with the customer and manually changing the VNC listening adress to the IP of the compute node does't seem to affect anything.  Are we sure this is not outdated?

Indeed, it's a bug. Apologize.

As there was no puppet-nova for mitaka, moving to opm

Needs puppet-tripleo backport, puppet-nova done

@Alex, thanks for the confirmation, let's see if Nilesh still have the problem with the z3 update.
