Description Andrew Dahms 2016-01-20 02:50:05 UTC

Section "2.6.2. Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" tells users that they need to start the service and ensure it starts on boot after installation.

In addition to the ovirt-guest-agent service, users must also ensure the qemu-ga service is running and set to start on boot. These steps must be added to the procedure.

This service must be running in order to avoid corruption cases when doing live snapshots.

Comment 2 Lucy Bopf 2016-02-11 00:55:08 UTC

Assigning to Tahlia for review.
