[openstack-dev] [nova][xenapi] can we deprecate the xenapi-specific 'nova-console' service?

Hi Melanie,

We recommend using novncproxy_base_url with vncserver_proxyclient_address set to the dom0's management IP address.

We don't currently use nova-console, so deprecation would be the best approach.

Thanks,

Bob

Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova][xenapi] can we deprecate the xenapi-specific 'nova-console' service?

Greetings Devs and Ops,

Today I noticed that our code does not handle the 'nova-console' service properly in a multi-cell deployment and given that no one has complained or reported bugs about it, we're wondering if anyone still uses the nova-console service. The documentation [1] says that the nova-console service is a "XenAPI-specific service that most recent VNC proxy architectures do not use."

Can anyone from xenapi land shed some light on whether the nova-console service is still useful in deployments using the xenapi driver, or is it an old relic that we should deprecate and remove?

Thanks for your help,
-melanie
