I am revisiting this as I have had no luck getting it resolved. I have 2 Debian servers, one is an email appliance and one is a virtual pbx. The guest agent works in the email appliance after following an article to get the agent to work properly, but the agent in the pbx has never worked. I have an exclamation point saying the guest agent needs to be installed. It is installed and running. I'm not sure why the agent is not checking in but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi At least in oVirt 4.3 I've made the experience that you still need the ovirt-guest-agent and that qemu-guest-agent alone was not sufficient. Additionally the agent in Debian 9 is to old and does not start on oVirt 4.2 or newer if I remember correctly. I've often taken the newer package from Debian 10 which works, but others have also worked out workarounds. This blog linked below looks ok, to me, at least this author is correct about the device change from /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm /dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0 which the ovirt-guest-agent in Debian 9 and older doesn't recognize out of the box: https://angrysysadmins.tech/index.php/2019/02/bailey/debian-how-to-install-o...

Hello and thanks for replying. This is the article I followed to get the agent working on the email appliance and used it as well on the pbx. The agent is running and does report for the email appliance, and it runs on the pbx, it just does not report.

I found this article that solved my problem: http://zipur.ca/knowledgebase/debian-8-jessie-ovirt-guest-agent/ The only flaw is the download location. the actual syntax is wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-ag... dpkg -i ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.15.dfsg-1_all.deb The other instructions are valid and it solved my problem. I hope this helps. Thanks.

can you please add debian case with the instructions that worked for you on https://ovirt.org/documentation/vmm-guide/chap-Installing_Linux_Virtual_Mach... ? just click on the "Edit this page" link in the bottom and you'll be able to edit the page and send a push request via Git Hub.
I hope this helps.
