[ale] KVM, the vm install on SLES and the port issues

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

DJ/Jim:

I followed your suggestions and viola I am able to connect to the kvm
console and complete my VM install.

Thank You for the inputs and very much appreciated.

Now that it works, I have the following questions.

How to setup KVM and put VM's inside that if all I have is  2 machines

Machine 1 : Windows machine that cannot be disturbed however VNC or nx
canbe installed.

Machine 2 : SLES 11 SP3 box which has no UI or 'X' but only kvm has been
installed.

Since kvm interface says its console can be accessed via VNC, how would I
do a pure non-girt-manager approach ?
The reason I ask is because I don't have a 'X' machine from which I can
user virt-manager to connect to kvm.
