[SOLVED] New Feature Qemu-Guest-agent should show ip, but it does not (Windows)

[fireon]

Hello,

thanks for new nice features. It was a good idea to use some more features from guest-agent.
On LinuxVMs the IP-Adresses are shown fine. But on WindowsVMs not. Is this implemented or is there something more confutation in Windows?

pve-manager/5.1-51/96be5354 (running kernel: 4.13.16-2-pve)

Thanks

Works for me. I did have to download and install the latest qemu-ga files from the fedoraproject.org site though.

Very thanks, so easy! Here the Downloadlink for others: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quic...ws-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers.html

Is it also working on Win10?

On my Web GUI the ip addresses for Linux-VMs are there, but for my win10 VMs it's not working.
Also the current RAM-use is wrong at my Win10-VMs.

Proxmox version 5.2-1, win10 with installed guest-agent + activated in options

Then the drivers are not installed. Latest Qemuagent for IP to display and Baloon for Memory.

I have already reinstalled the agent and service is running.
Also the drivers should be installed.

Here a quick screenshot (sorry for german interface):

Are you really using this qemu guest agent?

I've downloaded the hole .iso from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quic...ws-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers.html
Latest stable iso:
"
Direct downloads
Direct downloads are available for the .iso, .vfd, and qemu-ga installers.

the iso does NOT contain the latest qemu guest agent, you need to download this one:

Thank you tom!

I installed the qemu-ga-x64.msi from your link!
IP-Address is now shown.

Can you also tell me what I've done wrong with the ballooning driver?
In the windows VM it's showing less than 2GB memory use. Web interface shows more than 5GB of memory are in use.

this is a forum thread about the qemu-guest agent. please open a new thread if you have other questions - but before read the docs and search the forum or answers.

 

[floh]

alright.
just for anyone who is also looking for that problem to be solved:

I found this post in this forum:
Proxmox Memory Info (also working for win10, not only win2008)
