Re: using local media file to install guest

[Trey Dockendorf <treydock@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can do virt-manager remotely.  Either connect to libvirt remotely through a locally running instance of virt-manager or via X11 forwarding.  I do the 2nd method with no GUI installed on the server.  See here for minimal packages needed... http://itscblog.tamu.edu/startup-guide-for-kvm-on-centos-6/ .  I do that from a Mac.  My home desktop is Linux so for that i only remote connect to libvirt with my user ( not root) account using PolicyKit.   Instructions for that also on the link above.

That's not my understanding. I watched someone else follow the procedure
here:

and I believe he started with the minimal installation on the host.

thought I missed something and re-read....his next page says he is using
netinstall and ....wait for it..
connecting to remote server to get the media to install the guest..

seems impossible I guess...gonna need to set up a home server for my
production server to install guests..
seems like an extraordinary waste of bandwidth to do it that way.
