Hi, I'd like you to ask if/why is guest agent socked being closed upon guest reboot. I am using virtserialport to talk to guest agent:
-chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/f16x86_64.agent,server,nowait -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 I would understand if socket accept connection iff GA is up and running. However, this is not the case. One is perfectly able to connect to GA socket even without any GA inside guest. I think that GA socket should be as persistent as monitor. Even despite fact they address different areas. Application issuing monitor commands shouldn't be forced to reconnect on every guest reboot, should they? Or have I misunderstood the concept?
