[ale] KVM Management Utilities

[ted at techmachine.net (Ted W)]

With all this talk recently about oVirt, RHEV and OpenStack I thought it 
was a good time to re-visit my home virtual server. For the last 2 years 
or so I had been running CentOS 5 and using the included Xen hypervisor. 
To manage the VM's, on the rare occasion when direct intervention was 
required, I used the "xm" command line utility. For the rebuild I 
thought about trying my hand at OpenStack Compute and KVM on top of 
CentOS 6... that lasted all of about 2 days and I decided that, while 
OpenStack looks to have a very nice selection of utilities for managing 
VMs, it's very much overkill for what I need. This leads me to my 
question...

I'm running < 6 vm's at any one time out of my server. What would be an 
equivalent tool to "xm" on KVM? When I'm at the console (rarely) I have 
no problem pulling up virt-manager but 95% of the time I'll be working 
with it via ssh and utterly refuse to enable XForwarding.

Thanks,
