Finally, the system is ready to be managed using `Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) <https://virt-manager.org/>`_,
a Linux desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt.
The recommended client to manage virtual machines is `Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) <https://virt-manager.org/>`_

Access virt-manager in your Linux desktop, then create a new connection to your |product| using SSH protocol.
Install virt-manager in your Linux desktop, then create a new connection to your |product| using the SSH protocol.

Alternatively, virt-manager can be directly installed on |product|:

yum -y install virt-manager

Then, use X11 Forwarding through SSH to view virt-manager graphical interface.
