[Users] oVirt-guest-agent EL6 vioserial question

Fri Nov 8 16:56:28 UTC 2013

Hi Sven,

thanks for the fast reply.

oVirt-engine:
oVirt Engine Version: 3.2.1-1.fc18 , F18 based

F18 hosts as nodes:
Kernel Version: 3.9.11 - 200.fc18.x86_64
KVM Version:  1.2.2 - 13.fc18
LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18
VDSM Version: vdsm-4.10.3-17.fc18
SPICE Version: 0.12.2 - 3.fc18

I currently installed ovirt-guest-agent RPM on CentOS 6.4 64bit guest (latest).

[root at deovn-yXX ~]# virsh -r dumpxml VMNAME | grep virtio-serial
    <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'>
      <alias name='virtio-serial0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='3'/>

Yes, it seems virtio-serial has been attached to the VM.

I installed python python-devel  packages on this VM.
Do I need further packages for this virtio-serial dev ?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sven.

Hi,

what are your exact versions, of OS on management and compute node?
Which EL6 version do you run in a vm?

We run ovirt-engine 3.2.3 and our CentOS 6.4 guests have virtio_serial attached.

did you check with virsh dumpxml that it's not present?

HTH
