Hello team,

FYI standard installation of Guest tool on Windows server O.S. is somehow flawed.

It setups a windows service named “BalloonService” with path

C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe

 

Unfortunately, the real path created on filesystem is

C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe

(please note the missing “w” after \Baloon\ )


Thanks for the report Andrea, checking...
 

 

The easy workaround is to run this command on a “run as admin” cmd shell:

sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Baloon Service Ovirt 4" start= auto

 

I suggest to fix either the command that create path during installation or the one which setup the service

 

cheers
