20.2. The open connection window
This window appears first and prompts the user to choose a hypervisor session. Non-privileged users can initiate a read-only session. Root users can start a session with full blown read-write status. For normal use, select the
Local Xen host
option. You start the Virtual Machine Manager test mode by selecting the
Other hypervisor
and then type test:///default
in the URL field beneath. Once in test mode, you can connect to a libvirt dummy hypervisor. Note that although the
Remote Xen host screen
is visible, the functionality to connect to such a host is not implemented into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
