It is currently possible to manage KVM VM-s on OpenNode with virt-manager GUI application (virt-manager does not provide OpenVZ support at the moment). You can run virt-manager remotely on your desktop host or locally on OpenNode with ssh X forwarding onto your remote desktop.
With OpenNode versions earlier than 1.0 beta2 (build 33) there is a little manual setup needed for virt-manager to work fully:
# Execute on OpenNode shell
yum install xorg-x11-xinit
service messagebus start
service haldaemon start
chkconfig messagebus on
chkconfig haldaemon on # Log into OpenNode and enable X tunneling over SSH
ssh -X root@virtN.domain.com
# Launch virt-manager remotely over ssh
virt-manager There are couple of suggestions to consider when creating new KVM VM-s with virt-manager: - Put OS install iso disk images under /storage/iso/ on OpenNode
- Create VM file-based disk images under /storage/images/
- NB! Choose "Shared physical device" and "eth0 (Bridge vmbr0)" in Network screen (look a the screenshot below)
