This includes things like freezing/thawing filesystems (for > backups), reading files on the guest, listing interfaces / ip addresses, etc. > This feature has been requested by users, but is currently not implemented. > http://users.cloudstack.apache.narkive.com/3TTmy3zj/enabling-qemu-guest-agent > The first change needed is to add the following to the XML generated for KVM > virtual machines,: > <channel type='unix'> > <source mode='bind'/> > <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> > </channel> > This provides the communication channel between libvirt and the agent on the > host. All in all a pretty simple change to LibvirtComputingResource.java / > LibvirtVMDef.java > Secondly the qemu-guest-agent package needs to be added to the systemvm > template. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
