Guest agent for CentOS

Hello: I'm wanting to install the guest agent in one of my CentOS VMs. I looked on the documentation, and found this page: http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/understanding-guest-... It mentions that guest agent is available for CentOS, but does not provide a link to instructions. Due to similarities with Fedora, I followed the link there. It says to install "ovirt-guest-agent-common", but the package isn't found. I tried adding the ovirt SIG repos for my CentOS (7), and re-searched, but still it is not found. No links were provided to the RPM. Where do I find the CentOS guest agent? Perhaps the documentation online should be updated with this information, too...I'm sure I'm not the only one looking... --Jim

Also, on the debian instructions, I found one error: Under "starting the service", the 2nd line (after su - ) states: service ovirt-guest-agent enable && service ovirt-guest-agent start However, on debian systems, the first part won't work. The working version would read: update-rc.d ovirt-guest-agent enable && service ovirt-guest-agent start --Jim On Sun, Jan 8, 2017 at 9:14 PM, Jim Kusznir <jim@palousetech.com> wrote:

Perhaps 'systemctl enable' will work for both? Debian uses systemd too now, at least latest release.

I think you can find it in EPEL.

Would you like to send a pull request for this? This would be great! Best, -- Didi
