virsh-connect: Launch a new instance of the hypervisor and connect to it as the local user.
$ virsh connect qemu:///session
try on your machine
The command "virsh connect qemu:///session" is used to establish a remote connection with the Virtualization Infrastructure Manager, also known as virsh, using the "qemu" connection protocol.
Here is what each part of the command means:
- "virsh" is the command-line interface for managing virtualization platforms, such as QEMU, KVM, and Xen.
- "connect" is the action that instructs virsh to establish a connection with a hypervisor or virtualization platform.
- "qemu" is the connection protocol used to communicate with QEMU, which is an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer widely used in Linux-based virtualization environments.
- "///session" specifies the type of connection, in this case a session connection. A session connection allows user-level access to manage virtualization resources without requiring administrative privileges.
By running this command, the user can connect to QEMU and start managing virtual machines and other resources using the virsh command-line interface.
