reboot the OS
# reboot
|
check the installed version
# kvm --version

Now you can use SPICE.
virt-manger -> change Display setting from VNC to SPICE
You can change the display from VNC to SPICE by editing *.xml file.
add the following lines.
<channel type='spicevmc'>
<target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
</channel>
|
change the following line:
from
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/>
|
to
<graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' keymap='ja'/>
|
# diff spice.centos6-1.xml vnc.centos6-1.xml
60,63d59
< <channel type='spicevmc'>
< <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
< <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
< </channel>
66c62
< <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' keymap='ja'/>
---
> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/>

start the VM ( CentOS 6.2 )
