How to install the RHV Guest Agent in a virtual


machine
$ SOLUTION VERIFICADA - Actualizado 2 de Julio de 2019 a las 01:06 - English ()

Medio Ambiente
Red Hat Virtualization 4.x

Cuestión
How can the RHEV agent be installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest?
Why doesn't the resolution of my RHEL guest auto-detect when I launch the Spice
console?
I need to install the RHEV agent for RHEL 6 guests
Currently the IP address field is not being populated for any VMs.
How do I monitor VMs memory usage in the "Virtual Machines" tab?
VM memory stats not showing in report
No memory stats for running VMs displayed in RHEV-M
Memory/CPU utilization shown on RHEV web portal (not reporting one) does not
match actual utilization within OS. It defers a lot.

Resolución
To use the "RHEV Guest Agent" or the "Spice Agent" on Red Hat Enterprise Linux guests, it
is necessary to install relevant rpm package(s) inside the guest. For Windows guests, install
the RHEV Tools ISO.

RHEL Guests
1. Register the system using "Subscription Manager".
2. Subscribe the system to the appropriate channels, see the examples below or the
Documentation (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-
us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/virtual_machine_management_guide
/installing_guest_agents_and_drivers_linux).

How to install the RHV Guest Agent in a virtual ... https://access.redhat.com/solutions/261763

For RHEL 8 Guests

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

For RHEL 7 Guests

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms

For RHEL 6 Guests

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-rhv-4-agent-rpms

For RHEL 5 Guests:

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-5-server-rhv-4-agent-rpms

3. Install the Guest Agent package:

RHEL 8:

# yum install qemu-guest-agent

RHEL 7:

# yum install ovirt-guest-agent-common

RHEL 6:

# yum install rhevm-guest-agent-common

RHEL 5:

# yum install rhevm-guest-agent

4. Start the service:

RHEL 8:

# systemctl start qemu-guest-agent

RHEL 7:

# systemctl start ovirt-guest-agent.service

How to install the RHV Guest Agent in a virtual ... https://access.redhat.com/solutions/261763

RHEL 5/6:

# service ovirt-guest-agent start

5. Ensure the service starts on future reboots:

RHEL 8:

# systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent

RHEL 7:

# systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service

RHEL 5/6:

# chkconfig ovirt-guest-agent on

Spice Agent for RHEL guests


The Spice agent should be automatically installed and enabled in any RHEL virtual machine.
If it is not, do the following:

1. Log in to the RHEL virtual machine.


2. Install the spice-vdagent package:

# yum install spice-vdagent

3. Start the service:

RHEL 7:

# systemctl start spice-vdagentd.service

RHEL 6:

# service spice-vdagentd start

4. Ensure the service starts on future reboots:

RHEL 7:

# systemctl enable spice-vdagentd.service

RHEL 6:

How to install the RHV Guest Agent in a virtual ... https://access.redhat.com/solutions/261763

# chkconfig spice-vdagentd on

Windows guests
1. On the RHEV Manager command line, execute:

# yum install rhv-guest-tools-iso

2. The tools ISO will then be downloaded at


/usr/share/rhev-guest-tools-iso/rhev-tools-setup.iso or
/usr/share/rhv-guest-tools-iso/rhv-tools-setup.iso . Copy this ISO to the
ISO Domain and attach it to the guest. For more information on how to do this, see the
"Virtual Machine Management Guide (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-
us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/sect-
updating_virtual_machine_guest_agents_and_drivers#Updating_the_Guest_Agents_and_Drivers_on_Windows
.

3. In the Administration or VM Portal, if the virtual machine is running, use the Change CD
button to attach the latest rhv-tools-setup.iso file to each of your virtual machines. If
the virtual machine is powered off, click the Run Once button and attach the ISO as a
CD.
4. Select the CD Drive containing the updated ISO and execute the RHEV-
ToolsSetup.exe file.

Atomic Host
1 . If the common repository is enabled as above, you can install the package and then reboot
with:

rpm-ostree install rhevm-guest-agent-common


systemctl reboot

2 . Because of permissions, you would need a workaround to have it running upon a fresh
boot.
Create a script to load upon boot up:

vi /etc/rc.local
/sbin/modprobe virtio_console
/bin/touch /run/ovirt-guest-agent.pid
/bin/chown ovirtagent:ovirtagent /run/ovirt-guest-agent.pid
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.py
systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent
systemctl start ovirt-guest-agent

3 . Confirm its running with:

Is there any "rhevm-guest-agent" package available for Ubuntu?
(https://access.redhat.com/solutions/911963)
Is there a RHEV guest agent package for SuSE guests? (https://access.redhat.com
/solutions/792323)

Causa Raíz
Installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization guest agents and drivers in virtual machines
provides optimized performance and extra features.

RHEV-M Guest Agent

The agent interfaces with the oVirt manager, supplying heart-beat info as
well as
run-time data from within the guest itself. The agent also accepts control
commands
to be run executed within the OS (like: shutdown and restart).

Spice Agent

Features:
* Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag). This
is handled
by the daemon by feeding mouse events into the kernel via uinput. This
will only work
if the active X-session is running a spice-vdagent process so that its
resolution can
be determined.
* Automatic adjustment of the X-session resolution to the client
resolution.
* Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X-session
and the client.

Procedimientos para el Diagnóstico


Check if rhev-agent is installed and running inside the guest VM.

By the way, I have Windows Server 2008 and Windows 10 VM running with
memory and cpu reporting working there.

If it's not working for you, check that the service is starting in services.msc.
Make sure that if you have upgraded RHV that you're using the associated
tools iso. Check the rhv guide on where to get it and how to upload to the
iso domain.

The only times when I do not get systems reporting memory is when the
service is not started or due to an old version / not starting. I have some
RHEL5 systems that I cannot get this service started on at the moment.

Hope it helps! :)

(/user
