Hi All,

I have configured OpenStack Grizzly to control ESX hypervisor. I can 
successfully launch instances but unable to see its console using VNC.

Following is my configuration.

***Compute node :

nova.conf for vnc:

vnc_enabled = true
novncproxy_base_url=http://public_ip_of_controller:6080/vnc_auto.html
novncproxy_port=6080
vncserver_proxyclient_address=management_ip_of_compute
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0

***Controller node:

nova.conf for vnc:

novncproxy_base_url=http://public_ip_of_controller:6080/vnc_auto.html
novncproxy_port=6080
vncserver_proxyclient_address=management_ip_of_controller
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0

With same configuration I can connect to vm's console on KVM setup. Is 
there any other setting to access console for ESX hypervisor?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
