As for images, use % virsh; and 'vol-create-as', or % qemu-img; command. % virsh -c qemu:///system ; and ' virsh # help vol-create-as ;' for details about this command. There is also % qemu-img;, however do not do things behind libvirt's back or it will backfire on you. I highly recommend to use either some cli tool/scripts eg. for VM definition or virt-manager or some other GUI tool. It makes your life easier and things go faster(and sometimes smoother). http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools Regards, Z. > On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 7:06 AM, Zdenek Styblik <stybla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > >> On 07/29/11 13:36, bala suru wrote: >>> Hi, >>> I have deployed some VM on to the KVM-qemu and installed libvirtd .. >>> >>> I could see the VM running by command virsh list . >>> >>> but how to login to the VMs other than SSH ..? i tried virsh vncdisplay , >>> but no output .. >>> >>> regards >>> bala >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> libvir-list mailing list >>> libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx >>> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list >> >> Hello, >> >> if VM is running at localhost eg. your workstation, I do: >> >> % netstat -nlp; >> >> look for '127.0.0.1:590x' as libvirt assigns VNC ports automatically and >> in incremental order.
