[ovirt-users] overt-guest-agent Failure on latest Debian 9 Sretch

[Nicolas Vaye]

Hello Andrei,

i have had the same problem and on Debian stretch the problem is the old version of agent from stretch repository.

I downloaded 1.0.13 from Debian testing repo as *.deb file.

With these new versions of guest-agent then is also a udev rules issue.

The serial channels have been renamed and the rules didn`t match for ovirt.

See the install script, as attachement (provided by <mailto:Oliver%20Riesener%20%3cOliver.Riesener at hs-bremen.de%3e> Oliver.Riesener at hs-bremen.de<mailto:Oliver.Riesener at hs-bremen.de>).

May be it can help you.

Regards,

Nicolas Vaye

Hi,

I just installed latest Debian 9 Sretch under oVirt 4.2 and got this error:

# tail -n 1000 ovirt-guest-agent.log
MainThread::INFO::2018-03-26 17:09:57,400::ovirt-guest-agent::59::root::Starting oVirt guest agent

    self._vport = os.open(vport_name, os.O_RDWR)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm’

Followed this manual:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472293
and run
touch /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules
# edit  /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules
SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0", OWNER="ovirtagent", GROUP="ovirtagent"
udevadm trigger --subsystem-match="virtio-ports”

AND this

http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/086101.html
touch /etc/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.conf    # <— it didn't existed so I created it.
# edit /etc/ovirt-guest-agent.conf
[virtio]
device = /dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0

reboot

Yet still have same problem and error message.
How to solve it ?

Thanks in advance
Andrei
