Bug Description

Openstack comes with some vnc related components that let end users access vm's console in two ways:

- horizon dashboard vnc pannel
- stand alone java vnc client

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/getting-started-with-vnc-proxy.html

Those components are currently not charmed.

It is still possible to install them manually.

Here are the steps needed to install the horizon vnc console on folsom:

* Install nova-consoleauth on the controller node
sudo apt-get install nova-consoleauth

* Install nova-novncproxy on a node with access to both the public network, and the fixed_range network used by vms (where the real vnc servers will be available).

sudo apt-get install novnc nova-novncproxy websockify

Note that a similar packages (wich i m not 100% sure about the name) should be installed in order to allow access from the standalone java vnc client (openstack component name is nova-xvpvncproxy).

* Set the following flags in (all ?) nova.conf :

vnc_enabled=true
vncserver_listen="0.0.0.0"
novncproxy_base_url="http://A.B.C.D:6080/vnc_auto.html"

I am not 100% sure what is needed for the java client proxy, but i am guessing:

xvpvncproxy_base_url=http://E.F.G.H:6081/console
xvpvncproxy_host=0.0.0.0
xvpvncproxy_port=6081

Where A.B.C.D and E.F.G.H are ip on the public/floating networks (those are the template for generating urls the end user will use to connect to the vnc proxy server) where the vnc proxy service is listening.

* For each compute nodes, set the following:

vncserver_proxyclient_address=I.J.K.L

where I.J.K.L is the ip of this compute node on the fixed_range network on the bridge (so the proxy server knows on wich ip is this compute node listening for vnc connexions).

The last bit may be a bit problematic as with nova-network and flatdhcpmanager, the compute nodes do not have an ip on the bridge set before a vm is actually running on this node.

Would be good if we add the configuration to charm the SPICE support as well.
