[libvirt-users] Guest agent is not responding
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. -- zbfmail - Mittendrin statt nur Datei!

I use gentoo on the Host.

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? marko

i found out:

So this is the reason why guest agent did not started up, and why libvirt (correctly) reported it's not running.
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.
Interesting.
how do install this drivers?
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? http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers Michal
