Enterprise Management Tools List
This section contains the discussion happening on the mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools et-mgmt-tools list
Connecting to VNC Console on Remote System Installs
While executing virt-install on a remote system, Stephan found[1]
that the installer created a VNC service listening on 127.0.0.1, and wanted to
know how to connect to this service or move it to a public interface on the
remote system.
Daniel P. Berrange answered[2] that
modifying the vnc_listen parameter in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
will affect the IP used, but this isn't necessary. The virt-viewer application will automatically tunnel[3] VNC connection over SSH.
virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh://root@remotehost/system centos1
