I have a linux based vm that was delivered as an OVA. I installed this on my Vmware server a few years ago, but I'm looking to migrate it to our Proxmox cluster. The only issue I have is that I cannot install the QEMU agent as I don't have root access to this little appliance vm. I'm not too concerned with the possible performance hit, but I'm curious to what other hard issues I might have. Would I still be able to do snapshots for backups etc? Thanks.

You dont need QEMU agent for any critical day to day operations. Many people live entirely without the agent and dont miss a bit.

the agent is only used for some operations, like shutdown through agent (instead api) or snapshots/backup fsfreeze at start , or to get some infos like ip address in the vm.
The drivers are not related. (they are native in linux kernel and on windows, you need to install the drivers yourself from the virtio-win drivers iso)
