Domain Console

Once a domain is running it is possible to connect to the domains console. This can be done using spice or vnc. Spice if preferred since it does not close the session when the KVM Guest changes screen resolution.

Spice

Install the client.

# apt-get install virt-viewer

Connect to the Domain

$ remote-viewer spice://192.168.1.33:5900

VNC

Install the client.

# apt-get install xtightvncviewer

Connect to the Domain

$ vncviewer 192.168.1.33
