Hi all,

I've created an HVM guest under RHES 5 (Xen 3.0.3) using "xm create"
but I cannot access it with vncviewer.

The Virtual Machine Manager also informs about graphics console unavailability.

What am I doing wrong, please?

I do
> vncviewer 123.456.789.123:4,
where 4 is the guest id.

This is the xm config file is:

name = "hvmGuest"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "500"
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/red-hat.img,hda,w', ]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:34:3b:ba, bridge=xenbr0', ]
device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vcpus=1
serial = "pty"
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

Thanks a lot in advance.

Glen from Ottawa, Canada
