virsh # snapshot-create --domain sles11 --atomic --disk-only --quiesce error: argument unsupported: QEMU guest agent is not configured The system I'm testing with is SLES11 SP4 (host and guest). I installed
guest agent:
vm58820-8:~ # rpm -q qemu-guest-agent qemu-guest-agent-2.0.2-1.35 Is there something I have to configure ?
Yes, you have to update the guest xml with 'virsh edit $VM' and enter these lines in the devices section <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind'> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> </channel>
After this, it's possible the qemu guest agent is still not working, edit the xml again and change the port number in the line to a free port (you'll see that for example spice is using the same controller, bus and

<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
Hi, i have inserted: <channel type='unix'> <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/sles11.org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/> </channel> I didn't insert the path, it was added automatically, the same with "<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/>". I tried already port 1 and 2, but get this error: sunhb58820:~/libvirt_1.2.11 # virsh start sles11 error: Failed to start domain sles11 error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/sles11.or g.qemu.guest_agent.0,server,nowait: Failed to bind socket: No such file or directory chardev: opening backend "socket" failed Bernd Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) Ingolstaedter Landstr. 1 85764 Neuherberg www.helmholtz-muenchen.de Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende: MinDir'in Baerbel Brumme-Bothe Geschaeftsfuehrer: Prof. Dr. Guenther Wess, Dr. Nikolaus Blum, Dr. Alfons Enhsen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Muenchen HRB 6466 USt-IdNr: DE 129521671
