I've used the guides posted here to get Windows 8 Guest VM running as an HVM on Xen with GPU Passthrough. It works beautifully.

 

The .cfg file uses the following to administer the installation of the system via VNC.

 

vnc = '1'

# This is the IP address of your unRAID server.
vnclisten = '192.168.2.1'

# vncpasswd = '' No password.
stdvga=1

 

I am assuming that the above lines specify that when I use a VNCViewer, and use 192.168.1.2 as the IP address, I get to login and see the installation process without a password. This is how I installed Windows successfully without a single hiccup.

 

Here is where it gets interesting for me. I want to install ANOTHER guest OS as HVM (say, Mythbuntu from the .iso). When I install Mythbuntu when the Windows8 VM is running, simply pointing the VNCViewer to the IP address here (which is my unRaid IP address) doesn't work since it connects to the active Windows 8 console. How do I specify in the .cfg file for Mythbuntu that it should use a different port for its VNC activity so that I can connect to both installs simultaneously via different port specifications -- Say, 192.168.1.2:5901 and 192.168.1.2:5902...

 

Can someone help me on this please?

No answers?

 

Maybe I should clarify that what I'm trying to learn is how to use VNC to access two separate Guest VMs running on the same machine. How would I set up the .cfg file for each VM?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you want to use the next port, like to connect to:

 

VM1 - use 192.168.2.1 in vnc

VM2 - use 192.168.2.1:5901 in vnc

VM3 - use 192.168.2.1:5902 in vnc

 

But you don't need to specify it on the "vnclisten=" line. Those can all be the unRaid IP address like you have shown.

 

Give it a try and let us know. I'm pretty sure that is how you need to do it.

Thanks so much, that did the trick!
