Hi,
I am running qemu guest agent in Windows 2k8. I am able to execute "qemu-agent-commands" using socat but not through "virsh qemu-agent-command".
*Host CentOS system*
socat returns response appropriately. [root@sdsr720-14 ~]# echo "{'execute':'guest-ping'}" | socat stdio,ignoreeof /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/g06.agent {"return": {}}
Note your spelling...
*"virsh qemu-agent-command" returns blank.*
[root@sdsr720-14 ~]# virsh qemu-agent-command vm_win_06 '{ "execute": "guest_ping"}'
and compare it to here. There is no guest_ping command, only guest-ping. It's a bug in libvirt that guest-agent-command doesn't output a useful error message when attempting to run a non-existing command, but you'll never hit that bug if you pass valid commands to the agent in the first place. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
