Abstract
IBM Openstack cannot open a VNC console for VMware VMs imported
into OpenStack
Error Description
ICM Cloud Orchestrator (ICO) 2.4 is able to discover VMware
virtual machines (VMs). The imported VMs that are visible in
ICO, cannot launch a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) console.
The command:
nova get-vnc-console
returns an error:
ERROR: Unavailable console type vnc. (HTTP 400)
Problem Summary
To start a VNC console, OpenStack uses RemoteDisplay.vnc.port
information associated with the VM.
When Openstack deploys a VMware VM, the VNC information is part
of the VM definition. If a VM is deployed outside of OpenStack,
and OpenStack discovers and adds the VM to the OpenStack list of
VMs, the VM does not contain VNC information. When VNC is
attempted on an imported VM, the VNC connection will fail.
OpenStack will be changed to add the VNC information to VMware
VMs that are discovered and added to OpenStack's list of VMs.
The change will allow VNC consoles to be started on VMs that
were not deployed by OpenStack.
Problem Conclusion
The code change is in this code level and later:
nova-vmware-driver-2014.1-201510280013.ibm.noarch.rpm
