Description

Hello,

I added vmware vsphere 6.5 cluster as compute resource in foreman. I could create VM and destroy them through foreman. But when I tried to open Novnc console in foreman I got below error.Please help me

I configured firewall setting in esxi 6.5 host same a described in foreman 1.14.3 documentation
I attached error picture.

esxi host fonfiguration as below:

[root@esxi00:~] cat /etc/vmware/firewall/vnc.xml
<ConfigRoot>
<service id='0032'>
<id>VNC</id>
<rule id = '0000'>
<direction>inbound</direction>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<porttype>dst</porttype>
<port>
<begin>5901</begin>
<end>5964</end>
</port>
</rule>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</service>
</ConfigRoot>
[root@esxi00:~] cat /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh
#!/bin/sh

  1. local configuration options
  1. Note: modify at your own risk! If you do/use anything in this
  2. script that is not part of a stable API (relying on files to be in
  3. specific places, specific tools, specific output, etc) there is a
  4. possibility you will end up with a broken system after patching or
  5. upgrading. Changes are not supported unless under direction of
  6. VMware support.
  1. Note: This script will not be run when UEFI secure boot is enabled.
    cp /vmfs/volumes/esxi00/vnc.xml /etc/vmware/firewall/
    esxcli network firewall refresh

exit 0
[root@esxi00:~] esxcli network firewall ruleset list | grep VNC

Please note that this bug tracker is not a support mechanism, please use the IRC channel or foreman-users mailing list for that (https://theforeman.org/support.html).

  1. The IP address of the telnet command would have to be the Foreman server, it's unclear that this is the correct IP address.
  2. You may have a firewall blocking the connections if receiving "Connection refused", this should be a simple network issue to diagnose.
