I am a newbie in the area of Linux KVM virtualization. Can anybody help how to connect to my KVM hypervisor from a remote Linux machine without using LibVirt or any other third party library. I have searched for this but all the results that i got was using libvirt or commands related to it. I am not allowed to use any third party library and need to take the backup of my KVM from remote machine.

Can you also tell me why a deamon is required in KVM when it is not required in VMware ESXI?

Answer 1

If you just want to connect, there is no need of libvirt or anything else. You could just use vnc viewer like this: vncviewer IP:PORT

$ vncviewer 192.168.1.123:0 #if you using display number
$ vncviewer 192.168.1.123::5900 #if u using port number

i didn't quite get what you are meaning with "take the backup of my KVM" ?

Of course a daemon is required by VMware ESXI to run. Use can use ps to verify that.

Answer 2

use kvm command with option -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 and connect with command shown by Evaggelos Balaskas
