Following these steps we’ll be able to open the port 59xx<\/em> on the ESXi firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way we’ll can connect through VNC to a Guest OS :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Connect to the ESXi Server with vSphere client<\/li>
  2. Select Configuration<\/em> tab, locate and open the Software<\/em> list box, then select Security Profile<\/em>.<\/li>
  3. In the Firewall section, select the Properties<\/em> link to display the Firewall Properties dialog box.<\/li>
  4. In the dialog box, scroll to and select GDB Serve<\/em>r, then click OK<\/em>.<\/li>
  5. Your ESXi server now allows VNC access to Guest VM consoles through its firewall.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Now we can enable our Guest machine to be reached by VNC client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Edit <guestvm>.vmx<\/em> file (that file which define vm resources)<\/li>
    2. Add on bottom the following rules :<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled=”TRUE”
      RemoteDisplay.vnc.port = “5901” (here you can define the port on which you want to connect the range is 5900 – 5999)
      RemoteDisplay.vnc.password = “supersecretpassword”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Also if we want to specify our keyboard map we can add :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      RemoteDisplay.vnc.keyMap = “xx” where xx is our language (eg: us or it or jp etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Boot the machine and try to connect to <esxip>:5901 and when requested try to put the choosen password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
