[ovirt-users] oVirt Guest Agent doesn't work in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x86-64

Wed Jan 18 16:25:10 UTC 2017

My Ovirt guest services runs fine on W2012R2, but your ovirt tools is old compared to mine.
I would try to upgrade both ovirt tools and the engine to version 4
Since engine upgrade is advised but could impact your environment, I would try to download the latest ovirt tools from here http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.0/iso/oVirt-toolsSetup/ and import its ISO.
You can then mount it to your guest via usual mean and “upgrade” your guest tools.

I do not remember if Windows 2012R2 is officially supported in Ovirt 3.6.7 tought.

Cheers
AG

Hi Andrea

Triple Check

When the path is wrong we get this type of message:

"Windows could not start the Balloon Service on Local Computer.

Error2: The system cannot find the file specified."

But in this case, we get:

"The OVirt Guest Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use in use by other services or programs."

¿ Maybe a oVirt bug ?

Hello Juliàn,
Have you double checked on your guest agent that OVirtGuestService.exe is really found in
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\OVirtGuestService.exe
? The configured service path must exactly match the real one.

Hi Andrea
I tried with this solution:

https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg37420.html
And I input this orders:

Balloon Service oVirt 3.6:

sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Balloon Service oVirt 3.6" start= auto

SPICE:

sc config vdservice binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\64\vdservice.exe" DisplayName= "SPICE VDAgent" start= auto

oVirt Service:

sc config OVirtGuestService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\OVirtGuestService.exe" DisplayName= "OVirt Guest Service" start= auto
This solution corrects the BalloonService error, but oVirt Service doesn't work yet:

"The OVirt Guest Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use in use by other services or programs."

Hello Julian
I posted a similar case last year. If you search the group you will find my post with the solution embedded.
You will need to edit the service changing the path of the executable
Cheers
