Windows 10 & 2016 snapshot error

oVirt Guest Tools 4.2-1.el7.centos & QEMU guest agent v7.5 are installed. When I try & take a snapshot, I get this warning: "The VM will be paused while saving the memory Could not detect Guest Agent on the VM. Note that without a Guest Agent the data on the created snapshot may be inconsistent." What am I missing or doing wrong?

Tomas, Michal, can you please follow up? 2018-08-07 1:52 GMT+02:00 femi adegoke <ovirt@fateknollogee.com>:

Yes the guest agent is running. I have guest control, IP address & fqdn show up in the console.

Does the gust agent report the applications list inside the VM? (you can check that in the webadmin) If it does + this list contains the qemu-guest-agent then you can set the config value "AgentAppName" accordingly (by default the engine determines whether the guest agent is installed by checking whether this list contains either ovirt-guest-agent-common or ovirt-guest-agent).

Hi Sandro, Isn't guest agent installed with guest tools? I have a similar situation with Windows 2016 or Windows 10 (64 bit) where although I have installed oVirt Guest Tools 4.1-5.fc24 (and seems working as apps are listed, IPs are shown, etc) when going to perform a snapshot it mentions: Could not detect Guest Agent on the VM. Note that without a Guest Agent the data on the created snapshot may be inconsistent. The above issue is also with 4.2 version of guest tools. What do we need to check further? Thanx, Alex On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 9:21 AM, Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo@redhat.com> wrote:

Yes it is

Checked with Femi about "OVirt Guest Service" being started and running within the service manager. Looks like the service is running, need Tomas to look into it. Adding Tomas.
Thanx, Alex

What is oVirt Guest Agent? Is that different than oVirt Guest Tools 4.2-1.el7.centos?

oVirt Guest Tools is an installation facility taking care of installing several components, see https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/integration/windows-gu... oVirt Guest Agent is one of the components installed by oVirt Guest Tools, you can see more info about it here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/guest-agent/

This same snapshot error also exists with Linux vm's. With the Linux vm's the guest agent icon will not go away even though the guest agent is installed.."The latest guest agent needs to be installed and running on the guest."

Based on the IRC discussion it seems to me as a bug in Engine. But we will need more information to tackle that. Please open a bug on ovirt-engine. Please also enable debug logs in VDSM and attach engine.log and vdsm.log from the time the VM started to the time of the snapshot. Thanks, Tomas -- Tomáš Golembiovský <tgolembi@redhat.com>

I've filed a bug for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614466 Hope we hear soon. Thanx, Alex On Thu, Aug 9, 2018 at 6:13 PM, Tomáš Golembiovský <tgolembi@redhat.com> wrote:
