Access guest from virsh - centos

I am running Centos 7 x86-64. I installed a guest (again Centos 7) through kickstart as an exercise. I prepared my kickstart file, I validated it and I launched with virt-install.
If something went wrong with the network configuration (During install I got no problem, I created a local repo on Host FTP server as source for the install) how can I connect to the machine?
Only SSH or virsh foresee some other connection method?
How can I find my machine running network configuration from outside?
I am running a barebone Centos7 installation so only command line, no graphical interface at all.
Thanks,
M.

You can ssh to your physical host from another one having graphical interface with X forwarding enabled (ssh -X machinename), and look at the the VM with virt-manager
You will need X running on the machine you're connecting from. For Mac OS it's XQuartz

no internet on cloned virtual machine (Vmware workstation)

so i setup a centOS vm in VMware workstation, installed qradar..everything ran fine. I call this vm as QR1.
I was able to use qradar console on QR1 from my host machine, the internet works perfectly fine in QR1.
I make a full clone of QR1 called it QR2.
I boot it up and only running QR2 vm (QR1 is closed) but there is no internet on this vm. Even though all the network setting are same as QR1 and QR1 works just fine(i double checked).
QR2 has same adapter, same ip, same gateway and dns as of QR1 but it doesnt work...
previously i was thinking that i cannot have them both running at same time but QR2 just doesnt connect.
I am also not able to ping QR2 from my host and other way around.
What could be causing this ?
According to this vmware link reference, try these steps:
To change the MAC address of the Linux operating system:
Connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere Client Right-click the
virtual machine and click Edit Settings. Click Network adapter and
note the MAC Address.
For example, you see a MAC Address similar to:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
1.Power on the Linux virtual machine.
2.Open a console and log in as root.
3.Change directory to etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
4.Edit ifcfg-eth0 using a plain text editor and update the MAC address to reflect the MAC address in Step 3.

Oracle VirtualBox VM network not working

I am attempting to set up a VM using VirtualBox. I am hosting on Windows 10 and want to set up a CentOS vm. I have a VM running but have had problems getting network connectivity with it. I have no experience with VirtualBox and it has been a long time since I worked on Linux. Any ideas on what I need to do to correct this? Are there some steps I need to take during the creation of the image?
Image is : CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1708.iso
VirtualBox : Version 5.1.28 r117968 (Qt5.6.2)
When I try to ping anything I get " connection the Network is unreachable
The very best thing you should do is running the following command:
ifconfig -a
Then, If you have an interface listed (not just 'lo'), you can do that:
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
# sed -i -e 's#^ONBOOT="no#ONBOOT="yes#' ifcfg-{{network_device}}
replace {{network_device}} for your default network_device (from ifconfig-a command).
Then restart and it should connect.

Connecting to a remote CentOS machine

I am trying to connect to a remote system which has CentOS running on it from a Windows machine. I am getting the following error:
My remote computer is on and is available on the network. I tried following the steps mentioned on this website http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_CentOS_6_Desktop to enable remote access on centos as well.
Currently I can access the remote sever through commandline utility like Putty only.
I use VNC for remote GUI admin work on CentOS device's from windows its nice and easy to set up and use, below are links to CentOS 6.5 set up guide and 7
https://www.howtoforge.com/vnc-server-installation-centos-6.5
https://www.howtoforge.com/vnc-server-installation-on-centos-7
Let me know how you get on :)
As posted by PaulM, I followed the steps in the website to install VNCServer on the centos machine.
To connect from my linux machine, I wrote the following commands:
vncviewer
IPAddress:5901
Adding the port number specifically made it work
CentOs to centOs Only
No Need Any Softwares Already Centos have TigerVnc Viewer
1.Enable Remote desktop in your centos system
Goto System-->Preference-->Remote Desktop
**i.Enable allow other user to view your Desktop**
**ii.Enable allow other user to control your Desktop**
**iii.You must confirm each access to this machine allow or cancel**
**iv.if you ask any password to enable and type your password**
Notification Area:
Some one connect your system its enable to shows the icon on top panel.

Can't access SVN on CentOS 7 VM in VirtualBox

I installed VirtualBox on Windows 7, and created a virtual machine, where I installed CentOS 7. Then in CentOS 7 I installed CollabNet Subversion Edge, following this information as a guide and
performed all the steps provided there, but I can not access the server.
The installation should be performed on a desktop machine and the server I'm trying to access from a notebook, which is connected to the same network as the desktop machine. Also obviously, as the network has a proxy to surf, I had to configure it, and doing well because I can surf the internet and others. It's using 'Bridged Adapter' networking in the VM settings.
Can you think of any idea why I do not have access? Any help is welcome.
I found a response similar to what I'm looking for, but do not quite understand what it says. I'm only in CentOS7 enp0s3 interface, and there is collabnet running, not running on another interface.
NEWS:Gain access the server using its IP (172.x.x.x:3343/svn or 172.x.x.x:18080/svn), but not by name. Maybe there is a problem in the computer name, applies only to Windows, and CentOS running on the virtual machine, use another computer name. Can it be? If so, you know how to identify such equipment?
Looks like a firewall issue. Try to run following commands:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=<dst_port>/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
Hope this helps

Vagrant is attempting to interface with the UI in a way that requires a TTY

Problem: vagrant up fails with the error below. I am running vagrant on Windows 7 and the base box is Ubuntu )( files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box ).
how can it be fixed?
vagrant.bat up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
[default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
[default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
[default] Available bridged network interfaces:
1) Intel(R) PRO/1000 EB Network Connection with I/O Acceleration
2) Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection
Vagrant is attempting to interface with the UI in a way that requires
a TTY. Most actions in Vagrant that require a TTY have configuration
switches to disable this requirement. Please do that or run Vagrant
with TTY.
Process finished with exit code 1
thanks
This worked for me on cygwin:
Or add this to ~/.bashrc:
export VAGRANT_DETECTED_OS=cygwin
Then I got the "Vagrant displays a message that it needs to run some internal upgrades..."
Edit - Oops! Spoke to soon. During its updates, I got Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... until timeout :P
Edit 2 - I was able to fix it by setting config.ssh.private_key_path to the .vagrant.d/insecure_private_key in my Windows user's home directory.
I had the same error while destroying a Vagrant Box. I simply added -f and it did the job.
vagrant destroy m001 -f
This is happening because when script attempts vagrant destroy, Vagrant asks for [Yes/No] confirmation. Adding -f skips that.
I got the same error after upgrading Vagrant from 1.4 to 1.6.3 (Windows 7).
Running VAGRANT_HOME\bin\vagrant.exe manually resolved this issue for me:
Execute VAGRANT_HOME\bin\vagrant.exe
Vagrant displays a message that it needs to run some internal upgrades
"Press any key to continue"...
Once the process finished (it took several minutes), I was able to proceed with Vagrant instance launch as usual.
This is caused by Vagrant finding multiple Ethernet interfaces that can be used as public network and Vagrant cannot decide which one to use.
There are 3 options:
Deactivate one of the 2 adapters, so that Vagrant can use the other
Specify the Ethernet adapter you would like Vagrant to use in the vagrantfile. Like this:
app.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection"
Running the vagrant executable manually as already described in Al Belsky's answer
If you are on Windows and are starting Vagrant through MinGW (Git Bash for example) and get this message, try running it once through Windows' default cmd.exe. You are then able to answer the question about your network adapters.
I'm using Vagrant 1.7.4
Execute the below code before running vagrant up:
export VAGRANT_DETECTED_OS=cygwin
That will eliminate the exiting of vagrant and will allow you to choose Network Interface.
This may also be caused by not having Hardware Virtualization enabled in BIOS.
Also encountered this with Windows 10, when Vagrant cannot properly detect OS.
also can happen if you have both vmware and virtual box installed and you try to use MinGW.
