Hi,
I thought I had replied but apparently I didn't:)
well, the agent is managed by QEMU and oVirt only creates a device in guest for use by
host's libvirt. Then the oVirt commands for e.g. snapshot or shutdown should use
qemu-ga for that. AFAIK it wasn't tested thoroughly
If you want to play with it yourself disable the support in vdsm by disabling qgaEnable
parameter in vdsm.conf
Thanks,

No, I never got any replies and don´t know what I can do to investigate the issue
further. If someone has any suggestions, I´m up for testing, for sure!
