Windows Guest Agent Fully Supported The Windows guest agent is now fully supported and delivered with its own installer in the Supplementary channel together with virtio-win drivers. [...] Application-Aware|freeze|and|thaw|on Microsoft Windows with VSS Support on*qemu-ga-win* VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) is a Microsoft Windows API that allows, among other things, the notification of applications for proper, consistent freeze and thaw operations. With this feature, snapshots taken while the virtual machine is running are consistent through the whole stack (from the block layer to the guest applications) and can be used for backup purposes. For more information, see theVirtualization Administration Guide <https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/sub-sect-qemu-ga-freeze-thaw.html> Is there any issue with using these drivers with OVIRT? (since ovirt is upstream of RHEV, it should work, right?) I know, the answer will be no... --------------060800050208070800010102 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">From RHEL 6.5 release notes...<br> <br> <h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1.17em; border: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(167, 0, 0); font-family: 'liberation sans', 'Myriad ', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Luxi Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; widows: 4; orphans: 4; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Windows Guest Agent Fully Supported</h3> <div class="para" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 16px; border: 0px; margin: 0.3em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4; orphans: 4; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'liberation sans', 'Myriad ', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Luxi Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">The Windows guest agent is now fully supported and delivered with its own installer in the Supplementary channel together with virtio-win drivers.</div> [...]<br> <h3 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1.17em; border: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(167, 0, 0); font-family: 'liberation sans', 'Myriad ', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Luxi Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; widows: 4; orphans: 4; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Application-Aware<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><code class="command" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4 !important; orphans: 4 !important; font-family: 'liberation mono', 'bitstream vera mono', 'dejavu mono', monospace; font-weight: bold; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">freeze</code><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><code class="command" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4 !important; orphans: 4 !important; font-family: 'liberation mono', 'bitstream vera mono', 'dejavu mono', monospace; font-weight: bold; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">thaw</code><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>on Microsoft Windows with VSS Support on<span class="application" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4 !important; orphans: 4 !important; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 18px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4 !important; orphans: 4 !important; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">qemu-ga-win</strong></span></h3> <div class="para" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 16px; border: 0px; margin: 0.3em 0px 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 4; orphans: 4; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'liberation sans', 'Myriad ', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Luxi Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) is a Microsoft Windows API that allows, among other things, the notification of applications for proper, consistent freeze and thaw operations.
