Enabling VNC Access to Virtual Machines<br />

Managing Virtual Machines and Containers<br />

By default, you cannot connect to a virtual machine using a VNC client. To enable VNC access to a<br />

virtual machine, you need to configure the following settings:<br />

1 Enable the VNC support in the virtual machine.<br />

2 Specify the TCP port number on the physical server that will be used to listen to VNC<br />

connections for the virtual machine.<br />

Note: A unique port number must be specified for each virtual machine where you plan to connect via<br />

VNC.<br />

3 Set a password to secure your VNC connection. Anyone trying to connect to the virtual<br />

machine will need to specify this password before they will be logged in to the virtual machine.<br />

Let us assume the following:<br />

• You want to enable VNC access to the MyVM virtual machine.<br />

• The server will listen on port 5901 for VNC connections to the virtual machine.<br />

• The XXXXXXXXX password will be used to access the virtual machine.<br />

To enable VNC access to the MyVM virtual machine and set the parameters above, you can run the<br />

following command:<br />

# pctl set MyVM --vnc-mode manual --vnc-port 5901 --vnc-passwd XXXXXXXXX<br />

Configure VNC: mode=manual port=5901<br />

Success. The operation was successfully completed.<br />

The changes will come into effect on the next virtual machine start.<br />
