==> To install Windows (or any OS from ISO, normally this will be an HVM install)
	> Upload an ISO to OVM Manager

==> To find out what VNC port an instance is using:
	> virsh dumpxml <domainID>
	
==> Use a specific VNC port: 'vncdisplay': 
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncdisplay=1,vncpassword=welcome1' ] 

# The backend listens on 127.0.0.1 port 5900+N by default, where N is 
# the domain ID.  You can override both address and N: 
# 
# vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=127.0.0.1,vncdisplay=1' ] 
# 
# Or you can bind the first unused port above 5900: 
# 
# vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vnunused=1' ]
