Hi,
I want to be able to install RPM packages (available in host system at some
path) to the guest VM and want this facility to be available as a tool.
I am thinking of having a gemu guest agent (qemu-ga) running inside guest
VM. I did not find any available command ("virsh qemu-agent-command
<guest_vm> ...") which can do the same.
I am planning to implement a command in qemu guest agent, which I can
invoke from virsh like below.
"virsh qemu-agent-command vm_01 \
'{"execute":"guest-rpm-install", \
"arguments":{"path":"/usr/local/bin/ABC.rpm"}}
I am able to pass arguments from host to guest VM but how am I supposed to
pass the whole RPM image from host to guest (which the guest agent can
receive and install)?
Regards,
~Puneet

why would you use a guest agent (which is primarily targeted for =
virtualization-related tasks/coordination) rather than a generic remote =
execution tools (like, well, plain ssh:)
The only benefit/difference with the guest agent is that it doesn't =
require a network connection. Do you have such a requirement?

exactly;-) So are you trying to come up with something isolated from =
network completely?
If not I'd go with a dedicated/different tool
Thanks,
