go to virt-top and download a binary package of the virt-top

Creation of vm directory :

localhost ~ # mkdir /var/vm/
localhost ~ # mkdir /var/vm/def-gentoo
localhost ~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/vm/def-gentoo/def-gentoo.img bs=1M count=3500
localhost ~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/vm/def-gentoo/def-gentoo.swap bs=1M count=1000
localhost ~ # mkfs.ext4 -N 600000 /var/vm/def-gentoo/def-gentoo.img
localhost ~ # mkswap /var/vm/def-gentoo/def-gentoo.swap

This will create a disk image of 3.5G and a swap of 1G.

localhost ~ # mkdir /mnt/gentoo
localhost ~ # mount -o loop /var/vm/def-gentoo/def-gentoo.img /mnt/gentoo
localhost ~ # cd /mnt/gentoo
localhost gentoo # wget ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/current-stage3/stage3-amd64-*.tar.bz2

localhost src # virsh vncdisplay def-gentoo 127.0.0.1:1

Now we are going to connect to vnc display using ssh to redirect ports :

In putty configuration settings :

Connection → SSH → tunnels

• port : 59001
• destination : localhost:5901

Then use vncviewer.exe to connect to 127.0.0.1:59001

# ssh -L59001:192.168.0.3:5901

and in an other term

# vinagre 127.0.0.1:59001
