Description of problem: In the nova conf, there is: # VNC starting port (integer value) #vnc_port=5900 Which means the default value is 5900, but it is not so. with this configuration, vmware VMs seems to have ports >=9100 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-nova-compute-2013.2.2-2.el6ost.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure the vnc_port under vmware is unset 2. restart nova-compute 3. boot the VM 4. On the ESXi: ~ # grep vnc /vmfs/volumes/shared/1f9f6326-18bd-4972-8a59-5c268dc28b53/*.vmx RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled = "true" RemoteDisplay.vnc.port = "9129" 5. openstack-config --set /etc/nova/nova.conf vmware vnc_port 5900 6. restart, boot, check: ~ # grep vnc /vmfs/volumes/shared/xxxx-yyy-.../*.vmx RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled = "true" RemoteDisplay.vnc.port = "59xx" Actual results: default is something else then it was meant to be Expected results: default is what is meant to be Additional info:
This may get fixed together with #1069430
BZ#1077017 (A clone of BZ#1069430) seems to have fixed this in Havana
If it's fixed in Havana, and it's in master for Icehouse, I don't think we have anything further to do here.
