Well I already asked a question about any possible GUI solution but got zero reply. http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=105162&tstart=15
May be I'm missing something but using VNC as a console is hellishly inconvenient. For example after typing xm start <my machine> I need to start vncviewer then type a password and then wait wait while vnc renders the gui part...As a result I miss few precious seconds to catch any possible boot option on a guest.(it doesn't make a big difference even if I setup vncviewer to start automatically). So I thought that one possible solution will be to make vncviewer to stay on even if the server is not accessible,i.e. trying to reconnect let's say every two seconds.That way I will get a guest VM picture at minimum possible time after the guest is up.One of software solutions could be VNC Manager from SmartCode(http://www.s-code.com) which creates some sort of persistent thumbnail with ability to get full screen session clicking on the thumbnail,but since qemu support only one session,clicking on the thumbnail doesn't really work. So cutting the story short I need some kind of workable XVM client console which would work from Windows OS,since current vncviewer doesn't really fit into enterprise environment(IMHO). Thanks a lot. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
