Hmm...I did that, and restarted the ovirt agent, but it doesn't appear to be working...All my VMs in ovirt still complain about no / outdated agents.

I'll do more looking later today.

If the debian package is similar to the Ubuntu one, it cannot work without some bits of configuration. The required steps are something like (Ubuntu 16.04, so they should be valid on Debian 8/9):

- Enable the service at boot time

- Fix the log directory permissions

# chown -R ovirtagent:ovirtagent /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/

- Add some udev rules: I used /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules as in CentOS, with the same content:

SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm", OWNER="ovirtagent", GROUP="ovirtagent"
SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0", OWNER="ovirtagent", GROUP="ovirtagent"

- Modify the agent config file /etc/ovirt-guest-agent.conf

[virtio]
device = /dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0

Best

In my case I am using some Debian9 VMs and I can install the guest agents with: 

apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent

What about for debian guests?  I unfortunately have several that must run debian (I do have a mix of RedHat-based and Debian-based VMs).

Thanks!

Hi,
I've just managed to install guest agent by installing epel-release first.
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install ovirt-guest-agent-common

At this moment is getting  ovirt-guest-agent-common.noarch 0:1.0.14-1.el7

Hi:

I haven't managed to find the new / current repo/source for the ovirt guest agent for the 4.2 upgrade.  All my VMs now say that they need the agent.  Googles keep referring me to old / broke / non-existent repos.  Where do I find the 4.2 agent (or does the 4.2 agent even exist?)

Thanks!
