For ovirt 3.1 + F17, you'll find it in here: http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.1/rpm/Fedora/17/x86_64/. You don't have to have it installed on your VMs, but it comes in handy, mainly for reporting the VM's IP address through the web interface. There's a service associated with the agent that you'll want to start, I think it's just called "ovirt-guest-agent" Jason
thanks, jonathan

That's the one I was looking at using as source (src.rpm) as my hosts are CentOS-6.3. On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Jason Brooks <jbrooks@redhat.com> wrote:

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. On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 1:39 PM, Jonathan Horne <jhorne@skopos.us> wrote:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040505000200050702090508 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hi, I am currently in the process of preparing the ovirt-guest-agent for F17 package review, so it can be included in the distribution. In the meantime you can use the repository as mentioned by Jason. The qemu-guest-agent is not the same thing. The qemu guest agent comes with just a little of the features the ovirt-guest-agent currently provides, even though they are duplicating features, such as hibernation (S3,S4) support and things like shutdown initiated by the OS through the respective guest agent. The ovirt-guest-agent is providing also additional information to the web admin portal, such as current IP, logged in user, memory consumption etc. Also it provides the ability to implement a feature called 'Single Sign On' so that you can enter your user/password combination only once in the user portal login and once you have opened the guest os spice session you get automatically logged in to the guest system.
