Hi,
I have a CenOS host machine running KVM and a Windows 2008 guest machine. I
am able to run "qemu-monitor-command" but not "qemu-agent-command".
[root@sdsr720-14 Windows_ISO]# virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp vm_win_05
'info network'
Devices not on any VLAN:
hostnet0: fd=23 peer=net0
net0: model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:7f:4a:5b peer=hostnet0
[root@sdsr720-14 Windows_ISO]# virsh qemu-agent-command vm_win_05
'{"execute":"guest-ping"}'
[root@sdsr720-14 Windows_ISO]#
[QEMU guest installation]
To install QEMU guest agent, I followed steps mentioned at following URL
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QAPI/GuestAgent#Example_usage
[Problem-1]
"qemu-ga.exe -s install" runs silently, "net start qemu-ga" gave
error.
Following is the snippet from Windows shell.
PS C:\puneet> .\qemu-ga.exe -s install
PS C:\puneet> net start qemu-ga
The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
PS C:\puneet>[root@sdsr720-14 Windows_ISO]#
[Problem-2]
When I double click the "qemu-ga.exe", it gives the following error.
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click Ok to
close the application."
I tried some other possible ways also but could not get them working.
Regards,
~Puneet
