QEMU Guest Agent Installed but not?

[byzedw2020]

Hey Guys,

I have a question regarding the QEMU GA. I've attached some screenshots, maybe one of you Proxmox Geniuses can help me

I can query some qm commands from Proxmox, but when I attempt to ping the virtual machine using qm, it tells me the service isn't installed. Have a look.

root@pxc:~# qm agent 2000 ping
No QEMU guest agent configured
root@pxc:~# qm agent 2000 ping
QEMU guest agent is not running
root@pxc:~# qm status 2000

Any help would be great.


Thanks so much.

Hi,

Please check if you installed last version of virtio [0], if you already last version installed please try to remove it and reinstall again

hope this helps

Hi,
i have the same problem, qemu-guest is running, but i can`t communicate with it. I have already reinstalled the last version and the problem persist.
When i try to ping the VM he respond qemu-guet not configured.

Have you checked the option setting in PVE for the machine?

Sorry, I forgot to comment that I am on a KVM and I suspect that the problem may come from not having the driver in the operating system.

 

[LnxBil]

Yes, that was "the other" possible problem. The driver is also on the guest additions iso.

 

[Datatica]

Yes, I installed them but they still don't appear in device management.

I am using version 0.1.240, a W10 22h2 operating system and I have installed all the drivers shown in the image.

 

[LnxBil]

Have you check that you have indeed activated the QEMU agent device in VM -> options -> QEMU Guest Agent?

You need the driver in qemupciserial.

 

[Datatica]

When using KVM, through the interface I can't see if it is activated, and through the console I don't know the way.
Also, I have modified the XML file of the machine to add the driver, but I get the same result.
The code I have added is this:
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/Windows10_Campamento_2.agent'/>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
</channel>

What XML? This is Proxmox VE not libvirt, so that cannot work.

If I understood what you were telling me, thank you very much anyway, you have helped me, I will try to find some information related to libvirt to see if I can find out what the problem is.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[LnxBil]

I will try to find some information related to libvirt to see if I can find out what the problem is.

Why libvirt? Don't you run Proxmox VE?

 

[Datatica]

Why libvirt? Don't you run Proxmox VE?

I am running a KVM hypervisor using virsh, I am not on a promox, I am just getting the same errors as promox.
And I have a mess, could you help me?

I'm unfamiliar with virsh. For PVE, there is this help. Maybe it translates, maybe no.
