Install Desktop Virtualization "SPICE ( Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environment )". It's possible to connect to virtual machines from remote client computer.
| |
[1] | Install SPICE Server if it's not installed yet. ( Normally it's already installed with KVM for dependency ) |
[root@dlp ~]#
yum -y install spice-server spice-protocol
|
[2] | Edit existing virtual machine's xml-file and start virtual machine with SPICE like follows. This site's example has created a virtual machine without graphics, so it's OK to change settings like follows, but if you created virtual machine with a graphics, Remove "<graphics>***" and "<video>***" sections in xml file because qxl is used for graphics. |
[root@dlp ~]#
virsh edit centos7
# edit the configration of "centos7"

# specify a uniq number for "sound" section "slot='0x06'"

virsh start centos7
# start VM
Domain centos7 started |

Configuration is all OK. See next page to connect to SPICE server from SPICE client.
|
[4] | By the way, if you'd like to enable SPICE on initial creating of virtual machine, specify like follows. Then, it's possible to install Systems with SPICE which requires GUI like Windows without installing Desktop Environment on KVM Host computer. |
