ovirt-guest-agent on EL7 not starting up correctly, requires restart
Hello, after deploying a few CentOS7.1 hosts I realized that the ovirt-guest-agent does not start up correctly at system boot, requiring a manual restart. Afterwards it is reporting data to engine. I have only these lines: Jun 03 12:39:39 pipeline.int.m-box.de systemd[1]: Starting oVirt Guest Agent... Jun 03 12:39:40 pipeline.int.m-box.de systemd[1]: Started oVirt Guest Agent.

Hi Daniel, the oVirt Guest agent service won't start just by installation via yum. You have to run service ovirt-guest-agent start However IIRC with the next boot of the VM it would start since it is getting enabled by default. If you deploy the guest agent you have to start the agent explicitly. (This behavior is aligned with the Fedora packaging guidelines) Regards, On 06/03/2015 12:49 PM, Daniel Helgenberger wrote:

Hi Daniel, Hello Vinzenz!

The deployment is done by foreman, the package is installed by kickstart directly. When installed, it is enabled. Yet, after the reboot of the machine, the service is stated by systemd but not working. Only after a manual restart can fix this. However, when I just tried a reboot on a random host it was working... So - never mind and thanks ;)
