KVM : SPICE Server2018/05/17 |
|
Install Desktop Virtualization "SPICE ( Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environment )".
It's possible to connect to virtual machines from remote client computer. |
|
| [1] | Edit existing virtual machine's xml-file and start virtual machine with SPICE like follows. This example on this site shows to create 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. |

Configuration is all OK.
See next section to connect to SPICE server from SPICE client.
|
| [3] | 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. |
