Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt 4.05 windows balloon service installation wrong path

[Beckman, Daniel]

On a somewhat related note, whenever I setup a Windows 2012 R2 VM and then 
install oVirt Tools (the standard one from the oVirt repo -- 
oVirt-toolsSetup_4.0-1.fc23.iso), the oVirt Guest Service fails to start. To 
get things working I have to follow this procedure:
Open Device Manager, right click on each device with a question mark (lacking a 
driver), select "update driver software", "browse my computer", specify your CD 
drive (usually D:\), then hit Next and it should pick up the appropriate driver 
for each device. After that, go to Services (also accessible under Computer 
Management) and try starting oVirt Tools – it show now start OK. Back in the 
oVirt web interface, you should notice there is now information about the VM's 
IP and installed applications.

It’s an old issue – I had to follow the same workaround back in oVirt 3.6 with 
the oVirt 3.x tools. Is there a bug open on this?

Best,
Daniel

Please note it works like this on all server versions of Windows 
(w2k3/w2k8/w2k12/w2k16).
Also the guest tools installer doesn’t install the QEMU service, so it’s 
necessary to run
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\guest-agent\qemu-ga-x86.exe
manually.

Unfortunately, the real path created on filesystem is
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe
(please note the missing “w” after \Baloon\ )

Thanks for the report Andrea, checking...


The easy workaround is to run this command on a “run as admin” cmd shell:
sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest 
Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Baloon Service 
Ovirt 4" start= auto

I suggest to fix either the command that create path during installation or the 
one which setup the service

cheers

[ovirt-users] ovirt 4.05 windows balloon service installation wrong path

[Andrea Ghelardi]

Hello team,
FYI standard installation of Guest tool on Windows server O.S. is somehow 
flawed.
It setups a windows service named "BalloonService" with path
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe

Unfortunately, the real path created on filesystem is
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe
(please note the missing "w" after \Baloon\ )

The easy workaround is to run this command on a "run as admin" cmd shell:
sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest 
Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Baloon Service 
Ovirt 4" start= auto

I suggest to fix either the command that create path during installation or the 
one which setup the service
