Overview:

1) Started research with working on iTALC installation, for monitoring lab computers. Found the alternative program called "epoptes" http://www.epoptes.org;

Here is the official installation guide http://www.epoptes.org/installation

However I have written some additional guide, which were based on the one from russian forums (Here the link http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=206483.0)

Remark

It is better to install the server part make a reboot and then install clients parts.

For __ubuntu

Server computer

sudo -i

apt-get install epoptes

gpasswd -a username epoptes (change "username" )

reboot

Client computer

sudo -i

sudo nano /etc/hosts

In open window add

192.168.1.3 SERVER

Here the IP address is the address of your SERVER computer

apt-get install epoptes-client

epoptes-client -c

_reboot _

Then launch the epoptes program on server computer, everything should be working.

2) Installed the WebVirtMgr with one of the VM inside, used the Ubuntu image to run, but unsuccessful, probably because of the broken .iso file or . Here are the tutorials that I used to establish the server host and add users to it for creating pools of storage and virtual machines:

My first host server was done on my laptop: the address is http://192.168.1.8:16509/

There is one connection for user-> student(by using the KVM login and password)

Also tried to connect two computers with different approaches using the created virtual network, computer nodes became connected but the control was not allowed, probably because of the firewall or bad parameters settings.

By using the SSH I have established the remote conenction between student lab computers and own laptop. What I've got is the working test server now it is http://0.0.0.0:16510 there I have 2 Vms and several images, which are not working now. I got error message 500, at home I will work on this, I already found some forums where it was discussed https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/22 However I could establish connection, between local computers through the SSH and can manage some functions of WebVirtMgr Also I have finished the scenario for using WVM basing on the Prof. Norbisrath book.
