Appendix A. Using noVNC to access virtual machines

You can use your browser to access the VNC console of VMs created by Satellite.

Satellite supports using noVNC on the following virtualization platforms:

Prerequisites

You have a virtual machine created by Satellite.
For existing virtual machines, ensure that the Display type in the Compute Resource settings is VNC.
You have imported the CA certificate used for Satellite into your browser. Adding a security exception in the browser is not enough for using noVNC. For more information, see Importing the Katello root CA certificate using Satellite web UI in Configuring authentication for Red Hat Satellite users.

Procedure

On your Satellite Server, configure the firewall to allow VNC service on ports 5900 to 5930.

firewall-cmd --add-port=5900-5930/tcp
firewall-cmd --add-port=5900-5930/tcp --permanent

# firewall-cmd --add-port=5900-5930/tcp
# firewall-cmd --add-port=5900-5930/tcp --permanent
