From a command line interface on the virtual machine host, you can use the
vm-install
and
xm
commands to create and manage virtual machines. You can also
edit configuration files to change the settings of the virtual machine host or a virtual
machine.
5.1 Virtual Machine Manager
The YaST Virtual Machine Manager provides a graphical user interface you can use
to create and manage virtual machines. This utility can be run either locally on the VM
Host Server or remote. The connection is then secured either with an SSL/TLS with
x509 certificate, or with a tunnel over SSH.
NOTE
Close Virtual Machine Manager if you are not actively using it and restart it
when needed. Closing Virtual Machine Manager does not affect the state of
virtual machines.

When starting the Virtual Machine Manager locally on the controlling Domain0, it is
directly connected to the Xen managing demon. All locally managed domains are dis-
played and can be modified.
