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

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... j.
