==== Local vhost access ====
The GUI of a vhost can only be displayed on a host on which a GUI is installed. On most KVM hosts a GUI is not installed. That's why the GUI of a vhost often cannot be displayed on a KVM server.

But access to the console of a vhost is easily possible on a kvm host. The command ''virsh console <vhost>'' is the tool of choice:
  kvm5:~# virsh console client
  Connected to domain client
  Escape character is ^]

The picture above shows the access to a serial console ('ttyS0') of a vhost named 'client'. This only works, when a serial console was added to the vhost as described on [[public:kvm:install|this page]].\\
