[Xen-API] Connecting w/ VNC for initial VM install

["Phil Winterfield (winterfi)" <winterfi@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is my first time attempting to install a Linux guest instance from the DVD-rom drive on an XCP-1.0 server.  My question is: what is the standard method for connecting a VNC client to the VM for the first time when doing an install from DVD?

 

Thanks,

Phil
