I've created a virtual machine using virt-install with graphics --none. I want to enable vnc. I've tried

virsh -c qemu:///system qemu-monitor-command vm171-SC-1 --hmp change vnc :3

but it doesn't work

virsh -c qemu:///system qemu-monitor-command vm171-SC-1 --hmp info vnc Server: disabled

How can I enable vnc after running virt-install? I don't want to install with vnc enabled (i.e --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0,port=) is not an option because I want it to send its output to the same termnial that I am in.

You could use virsh to edit the domain xml and append the graphics element: virsh edit <domain>

Here's the xml snippet for vnc support

<graphics type='vnc' port='5901' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
  <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
