I see that too, but only on Windows 2008 R2 guests... No one else ever said anything about it, so I thought it was just me:) -- Med Vänliga Hälsningar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karli Sjöberg Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Box 7079 (Visiting Address Kronåsvägen 8) S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46-(0)18-67 15 66 karli.sjoberg@slu.se

I thought this might be because the balloon driver needs the guest agent to work and obviously this is not loaded yet. I assume further ballooning resumes normal operation later on?

is all the other guest-agent reported information displayed? e.g. FQDN, IP… just to rule out communication between vdsm and guest-agent Thanks, michal

I'm seeing the same on a Win7 VM and also thought it might be just me. :) I've only noticed this quite recently. On 12/11/14 18:59, Karli Sjöberg wrote:
