4.1.4. Watching the VM

During the kickstart provisioning process you can connect to the virtual framebuffer which is accessible through VNC. It's only available locally so don't try and connect from another machine. From the Xen host you should be able to use:

 
ssh -X root@YourXenHost.usersys.redhat.com
vncviewer localhost:5900

The port may vary according to how many guests you have running. To find out which ports are being used:

 
# If you are using RHEL5 less than U2
netstat -nlp | grep vnc

#otherwise
netstat -nlp | grep qemu-dm
