Managing Virtual Machines graphically with `virt-manager`

Start the GUI Virtual Machine Manager by running the following command:

  •  # virt-manager
    

If you are not root, you will be prompted to enter the root password. If you merely wish to use the UI in read-only mode for monitoring, you can also choose to Run unprivileged

  • Choose "Local Xen Host" and click "Connect" in the "Open Connection" dialog window.

  • The list of virtual machines is displayed in the main window. The first machine is called "Domain 0"; this is the host computer.

  • If a machine is not listed, it is probably not running. To start up a machine select "File-->Restore a saved machine..." and select the file that serves as the guest's disk.

  • The display lists the status, CPU and memory usage for each machine. Additional statistics can be selected under the "View" menu.

  • Double click the name of a machine to open the virtual console.

  • From the virtual console, select "View-->Details" to access the machine's properties and change its hardware configuration

  • To access the serial console (if there is a problem with the graphical console) select "View-->Serial Console"

For further information about virt-manager consult the [WWW] project website

Bugs in the virt-manager tool should be reported in [WWW] BugZilla against the 'virt-manager' component
