Best tool to manage Centos KVM ? + Guide
-
@msff-amman-Itofficer just look at this for quickly provisioning.

Virt-Manager obfuscates the entries in the window on purpose. If you generate a key instead of using a password to log into the machine, it won't ask you for the password any more. This is especially helpful when using SPICE as it will ask you for your password on every channel it sets up for the console.
Virt-Manager and virsh are the only tools I use to manage KVM.

Hey man.
I managed to generate keys (inside Linux environment using ssh-keygen -t rsa and use ''authorized_keys'' file on both machines) and things are alot smoother now, but going back to what you mentioned:
''Virt-Manager obfuscates the entries in the window on purpose."
Seeing you have many posts that deal with KVM, can you help me sort this out. How can I fix this? does it need something like ssh pass-wordless login to resolve, but in Windows environment (virt-viewer) they dont have ssh... so how can I resolve it?

That I don't know how to answer. I don't have any Windows machines so I never encounter those issues.

Install SSH on your Windows box: https://chocolatey.org/packages/openssh. This is a port of OpenSSH made by Microsoft's Powershell team.

Windows has had SSH for a while now. Both OpenSSH as a server and OpenSSH as a client, plus tools like Putty, too.
-
The Windows 10 Developer set installs SSH by default now, too.

That doesn't help with virt-viewer though unless you're making a tunnel. I've never used virt-viewer on windows so I don't know if it has an option for keys.
