Figure 5.2 Mozilla Firefox VNC Viewer
When successfully connected, the VNC viewer shows the display of the running virtual
machine.
5.3.1 Assigning VNC Viewer Port Numbers
to Virtual Machines
Although the default behavior of VNC viewer is to assign the first available port number,
you might want to assign a specific VNC viewer port number to a specific virtual ma-
chine.
To assign a specific port number on a fully virtualized guest, edit the virtual machine's
setting (/etc/xen/vm/name) by including (vncdisplay #) where
vnc=1
vncdisplay=#
vncunused=0
vnc must be set to 1, # is the assigned port number and vncunused must exist and
be set to 0 in order to make this work.
On a paravirtualized guest, edit the line vfb=['type=vnc,vncdisplay=#'] to
set the viewer port number to the desired value.
TIP
Assign higher port numbers to avoid conflict with port numbers assigned by
the VNC viewer, which uses the lowest available port number.
