[ovirt-users] ovirt-guest-agent on EL7 not starting up correctly, requires restart

[Vinzenz Feenstra]

Hi Daniel,

the oVirt Guest agent service won't start just by installation via yum. 
You have to run service ovirt-guest-agent start
However IIRC with the next boot of the VM it would start since it is 
getting enabled by default.

If you deploy the guest agent you have to start the agent explicitly. 
(This behavior is aligned with the Fedora packaging guidelines)

Regards,
