QEMU Guest Agent

Installing the QEMU guest agent is an optional but recommended service to run inside the VM to ensure backup data consistency with Trilio. QEMU Guest Agent is the standard OpenSource QEMU/KVM hypervisor agent that runs inside a virtual machine (VM) and communicates with the host system (the hypervisor) to provide enhanced management and control of the VM. It is an essential component of any hypervisor platform that OpenStack can use to provide enhanced functionality when required.

Enabling QEMU Guest Agent

To enable this feature, you must set hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes as a metadata parameter on the image you wish to use to create the guest-agent-capable instances. Reference:

If the Virtual Machine is already created from the glance image which doesn't have the hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes property set, guest agent can be enabled using following process:

The process is stopping the VM, manually adding the lines below to the virsh definition using virsh edit, and starting it again:

<channel type='unix'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
</channel>

The VM needs to be running the qemu-guest agent service:

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install -y qemu-guest-agent 
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent 
sudo systemctl restart qemu-guest-agent
sudo systemctl status qemu-guest-agent --no-pager

RHEL/CentOS VMs:

sudo yum install -y qemu-guest-agent 
sudo systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent
sudo systemctl restart qemu-guest-agent
sudo systemctl status qemu-guest-agent --no-pager

Windows VMs:

Inside the guest VM,

Make sure the service is running and set to start on boot automatically, in PowerShell, as Administrator:
```
Set-Service QEMU-GA -StartupType Automatic
Restart-Service QEMU-GA
Get-Service QEMU-GA
```

You can confirm if the qemu-guest-agent is running properly after being installed, from the compute host by running the below command:

virsh qemu-agent-command <DOMAIN-ID> '{"execute":"guest-ping"}'

The output must be: {"return":{}}
