[ale] KVM Management Utilities
Ted W
was a good time to re-visit my home virtual server. For the last 2 years
or so I had been running CentOS 5 and using the included Xen hypervisor.
To manage the VM's, on the rare occasion when direct intervention was
required, I used the "xm" command line utility. For the rebuild I
thought about trying my hand at OpenStack Compute and KVM on top of
CentOS 6... that lasted all of about 2 days and I decided that, while
OpenStack looks to have a very nice selection of utilities for managing
VMs, it's very much overkill for what I need. This leads me to my
question...
I'm running < 6 vm's at any one time out of my server. What would be an
equivalent tool to "xm" on KVM? When I'm at the console (rarely) I have
no problem pulling up virt-manager but 95% of the time I'll be working
with it via ssh and utterly refuse to enable XForwarding.
Thanks,

Take a look at "virsh" for CLI oriented parallel to "xm" on Xen. "virsh" can go across hypervisors as well per memory, so you will see some of the man pages reference more than just KVM.
Ubuntu has some nice documentation on settings things up which should be easy to parallel for CentOS.
