Hi Hector,

You were right. It was the firewall on Host1 (iptables) configured to 
accept only by default incoming ICMP and SSH traffic. I thought I had 
configured iptables on both hosts but I just did it on Host2.
Now, I clic VNC icon on Sunstone web and it successfully connects to the VM.


Thank you very much.

Carlos.

Hi,

I've upgraded to 3.6 and I'm tring to use the new quota system.

It seems that the file quota.conf is no more used.
How can I set defaults quotas for all users ?

Thanks,
Nicolas AGIUS

Hello,

There is a more pratical and fast way:
- open virt-manager and click for VM details
- shutdown VM on OpenNebula
- change RAM and CPU on virt-manager, it will update libvirt xml correctly
- restart machine on OpenNebula

The only catch is that OpenNebula doesn't know about this change and can
overcommit resources.

Hi,

Just to answer the initial question from Junix, OpenNebula 3.6 does not
support hot-resize of CPU and MEMORY. As described in this thread, this can
be achieved somehow by interacting directly with the hypervisor although it
may lead to an inconsistent VM state in terms of resouce consumption.

 Given the interest show in this thread we will evaluate its implementation
for future versions.

Cheers and thanks for your great feedback!

Ruben
