Dear All,
Little question. Is it possible to install the ovirt guest agent on a
solaris11 vm?
If so, how... :-)
Kind regards,
Koen

Well the biggest question is if
there are VirtIO Char Device drivers to
support the VirtIO Channel devices.
If not, it's not supported this is how it is right now for *BSD system,
no ports of the drivers for those systems, therefore the guest agent
wouldn't work at this point.

As stated, you won't probably have virtio-serial device support.
Problem is you need "dynamic" device tree in your guest OS, which is
what (Open)BSD doesn't have. virtio-channels are defined based on their
names, qemu-kvm args, and then processed by OS and constructed inside /dev
(at least Linux, Windows do that this way).
Maybe you can try to override virtio-serial with normal serial via
a vdsm hook and then to have guest agent use serial port path.
I haven't tested this but something similar was working for me with qemu
guest agent.
Try to raise virtio-serial in smartos community, they somehow support
SPICE and having virtio-serial brings many new features - usbredir,
SPICE autoresolution, clipboard sharing, shared folders...
