Video output does not display when installing XClarity Administrator in Red Hat KVM

When installing Lenovo XClarity Administrator virtual appliance using the Red Hat KVM user interface, the video output might not display through the console, resulting in a black console screen when you powered the XClarity Administrator virtual machine instead of the virtual-machine banner with XClarity Administrator IP info.

To see video output through the console, ensure that the video device is set to Cirrus by .opening the XClarity Administrator virtual hardware details screen and clicking Video in the left navigation. By default, the RedHat KVM user interface sets the video device to QXL.
