I am running several RHEL6 vms in ovirt. I am looking to install the
guest agent.
The releases repo has ovirt-guest-agent-common and EPEL has
ovirt-guest-agent. Which of these should I use?
How is this distinct from qemu-guest-agent?
If I were to install an Ubuntu vm, what should I do about the guest agent?

I see in the release repo:
ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.8-1.el6.noarch.rpm
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/rpm/EL/6Server/noarch/
?

qemu-guest-agent is a newcomer. ovirt uses some functionality from
qemu-guest-agent, and for what's not covered by qemu-guest-agent, uses
ovirt-guest-agent.
If I were to install an Ubuntu vm, what should I do about the guest agent?
use this:

I'm an idiot. There is totally ovirt-guest-agent. I am still going to
use the EPEL since for some reason the ovirt el6 repo is being wierd on
my system (404 error). Probably the corporate proxy.

I'll keep

Many thanks, even if I was chasing my own tail.

Ok, so what about an el5 guest agent? The github repo
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-guest-agent hints at there being support
for el5, but it is incompatible with the automake version in el5. Is
there a prebuilt rpm somewhere that I am missing?

rhev does have a rhev-guest-agent for .el5, supported and all.
i just don't remember we heard anyone asking for this in the ovirt
community.

Not tried yet myself, but I think you can download related source rpm
here and try to rebuld:

Just rebuilt rhev-agent-2.3.16-3.el5.src.rpm on a CentOS 5.10 x86_64
VM on oVirt 3.3.1-2.fc19 and the agent seems to work.
In the sense that:
- I get VM ip in web gui
- I get list of applications in web gui:
Installed Applications
kernel-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5
kernel-2.6.18-371.el5
rhev-agent-2.3.16-3
xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.12-2.el5
- when there is activity, I see memory,cpu and network usage rows with
consistent values
Other things to verify?

I don't think the .el5 one has any SSO in it, so i think this covers it.

Alright so far so good. I setup a jenkins job to build this for me. So
far working like a dream.
wget
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEV/SRPMS/r...
mkdir -p build/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
rpmbuild --define "_topdir $WORKSPACE/build" --rebuild
rhev-agent-2.3.16-3.el5.src.rpm
Any chance of an 'official' build ending up in the EPEL for anyone else
who may desire this?
3 p.m.
I think I may have stumbled on a bug. On a RHEL6 guest I got
MainThread::ERROR::2013-11-21
17:18:17,290::ovirt-guest-agent::117::root::Unhandled exception in oVirt

Sure enough, there is only org.qemu.guest_agent.0 in there.
Halted the VM and started it again and then it was all shiny with
com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm com.redhat.spice.0 org.qemu.guest_agent.0
Not the end of the world, but though I should mention it.

Hi,
I have just pushed the first EPEL5 release for the ovirt-guest-agent.

If you had rhev-guest-agent installed before, then manually remove the
user rhevagent and group rhevagent before installing ovirt-guest-agent.
the ovirt-guest-agent reuses the same uid and gid, but fails to add them
upon install when the rhev user and group is still existing.

If you had rhev-guest-agent installed before, then manually remove the
user rhevagent and group rhevagent before installing ovirt-guest-agent.
the ovirt-guest-agent reuses the same uid and gid, but fails to add them
upon install when the rhev user and group is still existing.
Ah yeah that explains
it. Well I am not sure if the workaround for this
is appropriate in the rpm.
I think that should be fixed on the system, it's not really expected
that someone would be 'upgrading' from the rhev-agent

Patrick was right
Having before installed and then removed rhev-agent to test
ovirt-agent I still had:
passwd
rhevagent:x:175:175:RHEV Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
ovirtagent:x:175:175:oVirt Guest Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
group
rhevagent:x:175:
So after removing ovirt-guest-agent and
userdel ovirtagent
groupdel rhevagent
verified no more entries and reinstalled ovirt-guest-agent, now only
passwd
ovirtagent:x:175:175:oVirt Guest Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
group
ovirtagent:x:175:
[root@c510 ~]# service ovirt-guest-agent start
Starting ovirt-guest-agent: [ OK ]
[root@c510 ~]# service ovirt-guest-agent status
ovirt-guest-agent (pid 3527) is running...
Only entry in log file:
MainThread::INFO::2013-11-25
13:30:29,676::ovirt-guest-agent::37::root::Starting oVirt guest agent
and I'm able to see again IP, installed applications, ecc for the VM
So the rpm itself seems ok.
Eventually it could be useful to verify no rhev-agent package exist
and no other user/group with same id.
Should it considered a standard way of proceeding to delete user group
or not in general?
Because in this case as a post-uninstall step could be safe to remove them.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Patrick was right
Having before installed and then removed rhev-agent to test
ovirt-agent I still had:
passwd
rhevagent:x:175:175:RHEV Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
ovirtagent:x:175:175:oVirt Guest Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
group
rhevagent:x:175:
So after removing ovirt-guest-agent and
userdel ovirtagent
groupdel rhevagent
verified no more entries and reinstalled ovirt-guest-agent, now only
passwd
ovirtagent:x:175:175:oVirt Guest Agent:/:/sbin/nologin
group
ovirtagent:x:175:
[root@c510 ~]# service ovirt-guest-agent start
Starting ovirt-guest-agent: [ OK ]
[root@c510 ~]# service ovirt-guest-agent status
ovirt-guest-agent (pid 3527) is running...
Only entry in log file:
MainThread::INFO::2013-11-25
13:30:29,676::ovirt-guest-agent::37::root::Starting oVirt guest agent
and I'm able to see again IP, installed applications, ecc for the VM
So the rpm itself seems ok.
Eventually it could be useful to verify no rhev-agent package exist
and no other user/group with same id.
Should it considered a standard way of proceeding to delete user group
or not in general?
Because in this case as a post-uninstall step could be safe to remove them.
Usually
you don't remove groups and users in rpms. It's actually
mentioned in the Fedora Packaging guidelines:

Why not just reuse the rhev-agent username, it is what it is reserved
as? Then just add a conflict with the rhev RPM so they cannot be
installed together.
Though upgrading systems using ovirt-guest-agent username would be tricky.

Why not just reuse the rhev-agent username, it is what it is reserved
as? Then just add a conflict with the rhev RPM so they cannot be
installed together.
Actually, looking at the spec file. The user is added with the -o option
(Allow non-unique). If you added -o to groupadd then the problem should
go away and was probably the original intent of the spec file writer.
getent group ovirtagent >/dev/null || groupadd -r -g 175 ovirtagent
to
getent group ovirtagent >/dev/null || groupadd -r -g 175 -o ovirtagent
Still needs conflict with rhev agent though.
