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?

  • Are there any KVM API's present for taking the backup of VM's running on KVM from a remote machine (without using libvirt)? This backup need to be take at different levels such as VM level, Disk level and file level. – Dr. Death Oct 19 '12 at 08:47

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.

  • i want to take teh backup of all teh VM's running on my KVM server. but I am not allowed to use any outside library or deamon. it has to be agentless. but what ever i am searching it is giving results by using libvirt or any other outside lirary. I am not getting the original KVM commands for this. and regarding VMware ESXI, libvirt home site says that we do not require any deamon for that.http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html – Dr. Death Oct 19 '12 at 12:06
