How to open VNC functions and ports in VMware ESXi for remote Management complete Chapter

Open VNC features and ports in VMWare ESXi for remote Management complete Chapter

In a number of forums to read the relevant articles, the total write is not complete. We will write the full version of all the resources. Detailed text is as follows!

Step 1. Modifying the firewall configuration of an ESXi host

In the/etc/vmware/firewall directory of the ESXi host, add the VNC firewall configuration file, Vnc.xml, with the following contents:

(Ignore this line vi/etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml)

Edit/etc/vmware/firewall # cat Vnc.xml

<!--firewallrule for  VNC console--><configroot><service> <id>VNC</id>   <rule id = ' 0000 ' >  <direction>inbound</direction>  <protocol>tcp</protocol>  <porttype>dst</porttype>   <port> <begin>5900</begin>   <end>5910 </end>   </port>
   </rule>   <rule id = ' 0001 ' >  <direction>outbound</direction>   <protocol>tcp</protocol>   <porttype>dst</porttype>   <port>    < begin>0</begin>    <end>65535</end>   </port>   </rule>  < enabled>true</enabled>  <required>false</required> </service></ConfigRoot>

　　

Step 2. Refresh Firewall Rules

/etc/vmware/firewall# esxcli Networkfirewall Refresh

Check if the rule is in effect:

/etc/vmware/firewall# esxcli networkfirewall ruleset List | grep VNC

VNC true description See prompt for VNC, status true is turned on

/etc/vmware/firewall#

Step 3. Vsphere Client Virtual machine configuration

The steps are as follows:

Close the virtual machine, and then edit settings for the virtual machine.

Right click on the mouse to select "Edit Settings";

Configuration Select "Options" tab;

Option Select "General" under "advanced";

Advanced below the general click on the "Configuration Parameters" button;

Edit configuration parameters Add the following configuration parameters:

remotedisplay.vnc.enabled= true

Remotedisplay.vnc.password=<password>

Remotedisplay.vnc.port= <port>

After the setup is complete, restart the virtual machine.

Step 4. Client Testing

Connecting the virtual machine console just before with Vnc-viewer

In VNC server, the IP address of ESXi is entered, and the port number is the port number configured by remotedisplay.vnc.port=<port>.

The password here is: RemoteDisplay.vnc.password = <password> the password configured.
