Hi,

 

We are looking for a way to copy files and execute scripts inside Virtual Machines hosted on oVirt manager (Any supported guest OS) either through REST API or using Guest Tools. Please let me know how we can achieve it.


I'm not an expert in this area, but I think you have 2 options:
- ssh - we have integration in engine, not sure how it can be used

ssh is just a transport for plain serial console. That can be used for scripting indeed
It’s not through REST API, you just use ssh as a client from wherever you want
plenty of details in [1]


- qemu-guest-agent - I think it supports running commands on a host, but I don't know

remote file exec is blacklisted. And it nyway can’t be invoked from oVirt API

Thanks,
michal

  any derails. We integrate with it, but I don't know if we support such options.

I hope that Ryan can help with this.

For qemu-guest-agent, the best place to ask is probably qemu-discuss, added.
