noVNCproxy is not work with vCenter

[Andrey Danin]

Affected release: Fuel 5.1

When trying to access to a console via Horizon, it redirects to localhost:6080

It seems that there is a misconfiguration for Nova. nova.conf should be:
root@node-1:/etc/init.d# grep vnc /etc/nova/nova.conf | grep -ivE "(^#|^$)"
novncproxy_host=<Controller public IP or VIP>
novncproxy_base_url=http://<Controller public IP or VIP>:6080/vnc_auto.html
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0
novncproxy_port=6080

But now it:
admins-MacBook-Air-2:Downloads adanin$ grep -i vnc nova.conf
novncproxy_host=<Controller public IP or VIP>
novncproxy_port=6080

[Andrey Danin (gcon-monolake)]

It's not obvious what parameters should be added to nova.conf. A current nova.conf from vCenter environment should be provided.

[Andrey Danin (gcon-monolake)]

Also, for 5.1, it should be documented at least as a known issue.

[Irina Povolotskaya (ipovolotskaya)]

I'll add it to Release Notes.
Is there any workaround?

[Andrey Danin (gcon-monolake)]

Irina, workaround is described in bug description:

nova.conf should be:
root@node-1:/etc/init.d# grep vnc /etc/nova/nova.conf | grep -ivE "(^#|^$)"
novncproxy_host=<Controller public IP or VIP>
novncproxy_base_url=http://<Controller public IP or VIP>:6080/vnc_auto.html
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0
novncproxy_port=6080

So, to workaround this, a user should add these lines to /etc/nova/nova.conf on all the Controller nodes:
novncproxy_base_url=http://<Controller public IP or VIP>:6080/vnc_auto.html
vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0

6.0:
[root@node-1 ~]# . openrc
[root@node-1 ~]# nova get-vnc-console tatka novnc
+-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Type | Url |
+-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

as expected

[Tatyana Dubyk (tdubyk)]

in nova.conf:
novncproxy_base_url=http://172.16.0.2:6080/vnc_auto.html
so it is expected that we get after: nova get-vnc-console tatka novnc
