From a6969802c8584becfb4f6df3f5dc8940f9895063 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wido den Hollander Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:09:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] CLOUDSTACK-4310: Document vnc_listen for Qemu/libvirt The vnc-listen patch didn't make it into 4.2 due to a newer version of libvirt-java not being released. Eventually we want to get rid of this, but currently we are forced to do it this way. Setting it to anything else then 0.0.0.0 will break migrations without a newer version of libvirt-java The newer version of libvirt-java supports live migratons with a different XML definition for on the destination host. --- docs/en-US/hypervisor-host-install-libvirt.xml | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/en-US/hypervisor-host-install-libvirt.xml b/docs/en-US/hypervisor-host-install-libvirt.xml index d3d6b9b4e80..c4be67e643f 100644 --- a/docs/en-US/hypervisor-host-install-libvirt.xml +++ b/docs/en-US/hypervisor-host-install-libvirt.xml @@ -46,6 +46,11 @@ so it looks like: libvirtd_opts="-d -l" + + In order to have the VNC Console work we have to make sure it will bind on 0.0.0.0.
