Hi, all --
This is probably a VM-ish question rather than a SuSE-ish question, but since I'm running OpenSuSE I figured I could ask here to get started :-)
I want to create a VM on host X and view it from my host Y desktop. All of the examples I've seen show someone working locally. Can either of these tools support running the VM "there" but viewing and interacting with it "here"?
If not, is there another simple and free hypervisor that will fill the bill? I'm not particularly in love with either, not least since I have no experience; they just seem to be at the top of everyone's "virtualization for dummies" lists.
I just want to run a few simple VMs, but I have neither the disk space nor the extra RAM on my little desktop to do so -- and I don't particularly want to have to get up and go to the coat^Wserver closet any time I have to access them.
TIA & HAND
:-D
On host X install libvirtd (which should pull qemu as dependency) and add your user to libvirt group. On desktop Y install virt-manager. In virt-manager you can configure remote connection via ssh. Then you can manage and view VMs remotely.
Wow, ssh is a option inside the "file-meue" of virt manager :-O ... never recognized it, have always used a ssh-shell and a remote virt-manager...... nice to know. and by the way, for david: i have spoken from "qemu" its nowdays more or less for enduser similar to "kvm" so all what is written as infos here from kvm = qemu by the way, again, i personally have never used virtual box, but i read more often than from qemu/kvm that with the fast rolling distribution tumbleweed virtual box sometimes when new kernels are provided and will not start. simoN -- www.becherer.de
