Access Kvm Virt Manager From Windows With Putty And Xming Blog Jklug Work In this post i want to show how you can enable x11 forwarding by using putty and the xming x server for windows. in order to use x11 forwarding, an x11 server needs to be installed on the client (in my case windows here). What is xming? xming is a free x window server for microsoft windows. it allows one to use linux graphical applications remotely. a detailed description may be found at the software’s home page. Once the download and installation are complete, we have to make a change to the session configuration in putty to allow the virt manager gui (graphical user interface) to be sent to the windows client from the server. Now you can run virt manager. it may take a minute to start up, but it should launch a xming window, after which you’ll be able to connect to your remote kvm host.

In order to get this same functionality on a windows machine, we need to start an xserver that can display the remote x11 application. we will be using xming for this purpose. you will need an account on a remote unix linux machine, putty and xming. To clarify, the graphical access portion is referred more as x11 forwarding. this allows the linux computer to put the windows that would have been called up on the linux computer to a remote computer. I recently replaced the it tech for the company i work for, he had set up a kvm using centos where some of our servers reside. i am trying to find a way to get access to these servers to manage them and hopefully create a new one. i am using a windows 7 machine to try and access the kvm.
