Hi, Just like many of you I am testing my first CentOS 8 VMs on top of ovirt. I am not finding the package ovirt-guest-agent.noarch . Closest I can find is qemu-guest-agent.x86_64 After installing and starting it, I do see information reported on the "Guest info" tab. Can anybody confirm if this is indeed the agent we should be using? Is there - or will there be - a more specific package for ovirt guests? Thanks! -- Eduardo Mayoral Jimeno Systems engineer, platform department. Arsys Internet. emayoral@arsys.es - +34 941 620 105 - ext 2153

They are not the same. However, much of the functionality of ovirt-ga was moved to qemu-ga, and the main missing feature AFAIK is SSO. No idea when an EL8 build is expected, I hope soon. Best regards, -- Didi

There's no plan to build ovirt-guest-agent for EL8 for now. Please use qemu-guest-agent instead.

Is there a plan to implement the SSO functionality from ovirt-ga elsewhere or break out the function for Linux guests using a desktop interface such as Gnome?

Nope, Use the qemu-guest-agent for RHEL 8/ CentOS 8.. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Oh, ignore the previous one - I misread your email.

Adding +Martin Tessun <mtessun@redhat.com> on this, he knows the topic better than me.

The SSO functionality from ovirt-ga will not go into any other ovirt-related products. ovirt-ga functionality is mostly moved to qemu-ga (besides the SSO functionality). So use desktop interfaces and e.g. kerberized logins instead for implementing SSO. Cheers, Martin
