Thank you. It does look like that bug could be related. 

I had an earlier version of the VM template which continued to work correctly, and an updated version (via apt-get dist-upgrade) that did not report IP addresses correctly. 

I suspected that it might be related to the new ovirt/qemu user agent, so I hold/pinned "ovirt-guest-agent" on the older template before re-running the software updates.

This worked to create an updated Kali VM that reports it's IP address (albeit more-or-less stuck with whatever dependencies the last ovirt-guest-agent has) so it seems this is indeed an issue with qemu-guest-agent vs ovirt-guest-agent.

Cheers,
Cliffe.

Hi folks,

Kali Linux repos (based on Debian) no longer ship ovirt-guest-agent, and instead package qemu-guest-agent. However, since this upgrade VMs based on Kali no longer report their IP address to oVirt (and therefore timeout during provisioning). If I interact with the VM console, the VM does have an IP address, and the agent is running, yet oVirt reports N/A IP address. I've tried restarting the agent, but that does not help. If I load the console and use the VM it seems to increase the chances the IP address will eventually makes it's way to oVirt, although I can't seem to reproduce an update, or get it to provide the IP address on boot so that provisioning works reliably.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Might be the same as/related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1981946 which is still being investigated
 

Thank you.

Cheers,
Cliffe.
