Good to hear that it is working now. Which version of oVirt are you
using? There were improvements for the delay of initial guest
information in oVirt 4.4 and the information should be available as soon
as the VM comes up.

Following up on this, for the benefit of anyone else who faces the same 
problem, I'm happy to say we have VMs reporting IP addresses with latest Kali 
now.

I've not managed to fix the fact that it is taking Kali a lot longer to report 
IP address (compared to the last version that shipped with ovirt-guest-agent, 
which reports IP addresses almost instantly on boot), but I extended the time 
out to give a lot more time for the VM to get an IP address (it is taking 
around 5 minutes), and also needed to add exception handling to the Vagrant 
oVirt plugin, around accessing the nics_service, which was throwing an oVirt 
error after a few minutes "Can't send request: Failed sending data to the 
peer", after allowing those errors to be ignored during the wait for an IP to 
be reported, it does eventually report the IP address, and other guest 
information. VMs are now reliably building again (albeit taking a little 
longer).

Thanks.

Cheers,
Cliffe.

I've just been testing this further, as pinning the old package introduced some 
dependency problems with other software. I would like to avoid manually 
compiling or editing dependancies in packages, etc.

Some other live guest information does seem to partly populate correctly, most 
obvious being free memory. However, the Guest Info tab in oVirt admin panel is 
showing "Unknown" for Type, Architecture, etc. However, I've just checked a 
Kali VM that has managed to report it's IP address to oVirt and that Guest Info 
is still showing as Unknown.

I'm really hoping to find an action on the client that can force the 
information to populate. It seemed as though connecting to the console and 
running "service qemu restart; service networking restart" often does the trick 
when run manually, but my hackish approach of having those happen at boot in 
the template don't seem to fix the issue of the IP address being picked up 
automatically on boot.

Can you suggest any commands we could run on the client that could encourage 
the agent to report the IP address?

Thank you.

Cheers,
Cliffe.

Is the problem just with the IP addresses? Do you see other guest

[ovirt-users] Re: qemu-guest-agent not reporting IP address on boot?

2021-10-05 Thread Schreuders, Cliffe 
Thank you. It does look like that bug could be related.

I had an earlier version of the VM template which continued to work correctly, 
and an updated version (via apt-get dist-upgrade) that did not report IP 
addresses correctly.

I suspected that it might be related to the new ovirt/qemu user agent, so I 
hold/pinned "ovirt-guest-agent" on the older template before re-running the 
software updates.

This worked to create an updated Kali VM that reports it's IP address (albeit 
more-or-less stuck with whatever dependencies the last ovirt-guest-agent has) 
so it seems this is indeed an issue with qemu-guest-agent vs ovirt-guest-agent.

Cheers,
Cliffe.
