Hi NuxThat sounds great. For what it's worth, I did find the following setting in global config:
*kvm.vmstoragesnapshot.enabled*: For live snapshot of virtual machine instance on KVM hypervisor without memory. Requieres qemu version 1.6+ (on NFS or Local file system) and qemu-guest-agent installed on guest VM
So it seems it does use qemu-ga to some sort. On 10/12/22 18:09, Nux wrote:
Hello,AFAIK Cloudstack does not leverage the qemu-ga functionality for anything - yet. It doesn't hurt to have it though, it may be useful for your own operations as it can do various things - such as connect to the socket from the hypervisor side then check IP addesses, freeze filesystems etc. I would bake qemu-ga in my templates tbh.Also, you never know, in the future Cloudstack might also leverage it for various features.--- Nux www.nux.ro <http://www.nux.ro> On 2022-10-12 17:04, Granwille Strauss wrote:Hi NuxThank you. Is it worth installing qemu-guest-agent on our guest Linux VMs? Would this provide any significant change?On 10/12/22 17:44, Nux wrote:Hi, Make sure you have the virtio drivers installed.Linux has them by default, but Windows opted not to have support for it, so you will have to do it for them.If you do not use virtio devices (ie paravirt) your IO will suffer. --- Nux www.nux.ro <http://www.nux.ro> On 2022-10-12 15:13, Granwille Strauss wrote: Hi Guys I run KVM node via Cloudstack, and want to confirm if there are any additional guest agents & drivers that I need to install to my guest VM?
