You won't be installing GUI! Trust me, yum install virt-manager xauth - Those are the only packages that will be installed, (plus any required support packages, which are minimal)

Then via your SSH session, you get the gui running on *your* local X server - not the remote server. Awesome for remote admin of servers, and also compressed via ssh, and most of my colo servers prioritise ssh traffic, so very good connections, even if your servers are being hammered for traffic.

You can install virt-manager on the centos box, and then use it via ssh, for example

ssh -X user@centoshost.com

Then on the command line, run virt-manager, (you may need to install xauth as well, but it works a charm)

well i am not given permission to install GUI for the centos (dom0) :(

+1 - have used this for 6 years from windoze clients

ok here is my problem

mylaptp ----------> cent os xenserver ( Dom0 ) ---> Win2008 ( DomU )

myLaptop -------via putty / Bitvise Tunnilier can connect to ---> cent os xen server ( Dom0 ) .---- need to connect to DomU --> Win2008

You can set up the Xen VM with a VNC console and/or serial console and connect to either for install/boot.

Win 2008 can run headless, the console is a powershell console I believe, haven't tried installing with it though.

You can also connect to the VNC console using any VNC client.
