Hooking up the qemu-guest-agent requires two parts. On the host, you must add a <channel> to your domain XML, per http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementCharChannel (modern virt-install and virt-manager do this for you when creating a new guest). Then, in the guest, you must install the agent as a service. On Fedora-based guests, this is as simple as installing the qemu-guest-agent package, which automatically sets itself up to run as a service if the virtual hardware is detected, and that will be the case if the channel designation was listed in the domain XML. On other Linux guests, you'll have to figure out if your distro of choice has made it as easy as Fedora-based guests. On Windows guests, there are steps to do it, but I don't personally have experience doing it myself, so you may have better luck searching the archives here or on the qemu mailing lists. For any other guest OS, you'd first have to port the qemu-guest-agent code to your guest OS. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
