Description

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qemu-guest-agent


Installation


For a simple installation first set the QEMU Guest Agent as Enabled in the VM options and Display to Virtio-GPU in the Hardware Options.

Then just do:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-qemu-guest-agent -y
signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot

Check the Agent shows 'Enabled' in the Proxmox manager and the service is running on Koozali SME

systemctl status qemu-guest-agent

If agent was not enabled before the start of the vm from the hypervisor, so a reboot of the VM is not enough. You need to actually shutdown and restart the VM to enable the agent at the supervisor level and have qemu-guest-agent not to fail for dependency.

To install manually:

yum install qemu-guest-agent -y 
config set qemu-guest-agent service status enabled access private
mkdir -p /usr/lib/systemd/system/qemu-guest-agent.service.d/
echo -e  "[Install]\nWantedBy=sme-server.target" > /usr/lib/systemd/system/qemu-guest-agent.service.d/50koozali.conf
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/systemd-default
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start qemu-guest-agent.service
