Hi friends, I got a IP of a remote xen virtual machine. When I access it (guest system) and do "rpm -qa | grep xen", I got xen-tools-domU-3.0.4_13138-0.40 kernel-xen-2.6.16.46-0.12 So far I access it with ssh command at local console. Is there any way that I can access it graphically? For eg., use web browser? Since I might often cause the virtual machine crash, I''d like to manage it or boot it (after it''s down) remotely. Is there any tools can help me to do this? What else information other than the IP of guest VM do I need, for eg., some screen access to the host machine? Sorry for the basic questions. I did google...but didn''t find anything helpful. Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

(vncpasswd '''') Change that to appropriate ip address of dom0. Then you can use a vnc client directly connect to the guest gui. This can also be configured differently for each guest. Look into vfb = parameter int he guest config. --Sadique> Sorry for the basic questions.
