Hi Abel,

You may be missing "vnc_enabled=True" on compute nodes.


Here's what I have usng same packages as you have:

Controller:

# grep vnc /etc/nova/nova.conf
novncproxy_port=6080
novncproxy_host=0.0.0.0

Compute Node:
# grep vnc /etc/nova/nova.conf
vnc_enabled=True
vncserver_proxyclient_address=${node_ip}
novncproxy_base_url=http://${controller_ip}:6080/vnc_auto.html
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0

I believe Setting 'vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0' is required on the compute
hosts if you want migration to work, though I also think your configured
IPs should work in the non-migratory case.

(PS apologies to Juan for accidentally sending this to him personally...)
