[libvirt-users] Guest agent is not responding

[Marko Weber | 8000]

hello,

in my windows vm i installed qemu-guest-agent and rebootet the vm.
In the settings for the vm i set via virt-manager a new channel "unix
socket" "org.qemu.guest_agent.0" "virtio".

when i try to do a snapshot via shell i get:





virsh snapshot-create-as --domain win7new win7new-snap1 --disk-only
--atomic --quiesce

error: Guest agent is not responding: Guest agent not available for now





I use gentoo on the Host.

qemu is built with useflags:
aio alsa caps curl fdt filecaps gtk iscsi
jpeg lzo ncurses nls numa pin-upstream-blobs png python sdl seccomp
smartcard ssh threads tls usb usbredir uuid vde
vhost-net virtfs vnc xattr xfs


libvirt: audit caps fuse iscsi libvirtd lvm lxc
macvtap nls numa parted pcap policykit qemu udev vepa virt-network




thanks for any tipps and hints.

I also found out on the windows vm ( win7 prof ) that guest-agent do not
start.
In Windows Logs i found entries saying; "could not start guest-agent
because reaching timeout (3000ms)"

Any ideas how to get the the guestagent running?

thanks

i found out:

the windows 7 prof vm was missing the virtio-serial drivers.
On trying to install them windows "always" crashes.

tried: virtio-win-0.1.109-2/ virtio-win-0.1.105-1/
virtio-win-0.1.102/ virtio-win-0.1.96/

windows is always crashing.

how do install this drivers?

So this is the reason why guest agent did not started up, and why
libvirt (correctly) reported it's not running.

Interesting.

I'd suggest asking on qemu-devel list, since they are much more closer
to qemu-ga than libvirt.

Have you tried windows drivers packaged by Fedora?
