You can do virt-manager remotely. Either connect to libvirt remotely through a locally running instance of virt-manager or via X11 forwarding. I do the 2nd method with no GUI installed on the server. See here for minimal packages needed... http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/ . I do that from a Mac. My home desktop is Linux so for that i only remote connect to libvirt with my user ( not root) account using PolicyKit. Instructions for that also on the link above. - Trey On Oct 26, 2011 6:56 PM, "Bob Hoffman" <bob at bobhoffman.com> wrote: > eric wrote > ------------------- > > That's not my understanding.
