I got the above error after installing virt-manager using yum and starting it. Is there any way to access SSH of the VM without using virt-manager? Must I assign it an IP?>

For your first question, you need an X display (e.g. ssh -X to your server) to run virt-manager. For the second question, yes, SSH uses the network and so you need an IP address.
