Can an administrator close the VNC window while installing an OS on a virtual machine using a local image?

When installing an operating system on a virtual machine using a local image, closing the VNC window does not impact the image reading process. This is because the installation happens independently of the graphical interface that the VNC window provides. The installation is typically handled by the hypervisor that operates the virtual machine, which continues to perform the task of accessing and utilizing the local image to install the OS, regardless of whether the VNC window is open or closed.

While it is true that monitoring the installation process through VNC can be beneficial for real-time feedback and troubleshooting, the core operations concerning the actual installation will proceed without interruption. This ability allows administrators to manage resources more effectively or even continue other tasks without being tied to the installation process, highlighting the efficiency and independence of the virtualized environment.
