I have 2 Centos 7.1 servers running KVM - let's call them KVM1 and KVM2. Virt-manager is installed on KVM2 and I run that from my Windows PC using VxXsrv which I believe is a fork of Xming. This allows me to configure the VMs on KVM2 with virt-manager.
I believe it's possible to have virt-manager connect to multiple hosts so I'm trying to get it to access KVM1 as well, but I keep getting an error which I don't know how to fix:
Unable to connect to libvirt.
You need to install openssh-askpass or similar to connect to this host.
Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://root@192.168.0.102/system

I have installed openssh-askpass on KVM 2 and KVM1 and virsh on KVM2 can connect to KVM1:
# virsh --connect qemu+ssh://192.168.0.102/system
root@192.168.0.102's password:
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.
...
Can anyone please advise what I need to do to get virt-manager on KVM2 to connect to KVM1.
