That was me, I think.

Where I work also has a partnership with RedHat so we have the RHEL agent tools. I was planning to do a compile of the ovirt-released guest agent tools but have not had the time so I fudged and used RedHat's :-)

The only difference is the RHEL version seems to also have a qxl (?) video driver (carry-over from older rhev-manager I think). The rest is python-based tools. There's a way to do a binary-only executable from the python script that is the agent (multiple bits - agent (talks to OS and virtIOserial), spice (talks to spice and OS) and spice-agent (talks through agent to window manager, etc)) but I haven't had the time to work out the build issues yet.

As of now, there's not an "official" ovirt-guest-agent package that I know of either.

i saw in another thread about ovirt-guest-agent, but this is the first i have seen of anything about this.  i would like to know more, but yum info ovirt-guest-agent doesn't feed me anything.  i see a qemu-guest-agent, is that the same thing and does it need to be installed on all my VMs?

thanks,
