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
status: running
root@pxc:~# qm pending 2000
cur agent: 1,type=virtio
cur bootdisk: scsi0

root@pxc:~# qm guest cmd 2000 ping
QEMU guest agent is not running
root@pxc:~# qm status 2000

Any help would be great.


Thanks so much.

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.

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

You need the driver in qemupciserial.
 
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.

This is what I meant:

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.
