Description of problem: There's no ovirt-guest-agent releaes for FreeBSD. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look for ovirt-guest-agent for FreeBSD and just can't found it. 2. Try to compile from source, it works with: --without-sso 3. Fail to load binaries due to lack of knowledge of how ovirt-guest-agent works Actual results: None Expected results: Support for basic tools in oVirt Hosted Engine. Additional info: I was able to compile the latest version of ovirt-guest-agent on FreeBSD 11.0-EELEASE but I was unable to execute the required software due to lack of knowledge of how ovirt-guest-agent works. Probably a debug should de made and the software may need to be adapted to work correctly on FreeBSD. I'm targeting 11.0-RELEASE since it supports the required virtio_console driver: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=virtio_console&sektion=4 More information can be found on oVirt mailing list, since some users already tried/asked for the same feature in the past: 1. http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-August/015770.html 2. http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-June/033271.html
didn't we have some request like that long time ago...wasn't it actually partially working?
@mskrivan Here's what I had to do on FBSD 11 pkgconf, git, autoconf and automake git clone https://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-guest-agent cd ovirt-guest-agent -- Applying changes from https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/79395/ (When not merged yet) mkdir -p m4 curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/master/pkg.m4 > m4/pkg.m4 ./autogen.sh ./configure --without-sso --with-sudohelper=sudo --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc sudo make install sudo mkdir -p /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent /run # You need to find the right channel it's something like /dev/ttyV0.1/2/3 or so but I am not sure which one is which just yet sudo ln -s /dev/ttyV0.2 /dev/ovirt-guest-agent.0 sudo python2 /usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.py This is for now the 'workaround' to get it working there would be ofc more sensible changes needed to do it for a real support and there are quite a lot of missing features - You can shutdown the system from the UI anything else I did not test and is most likely not working
I'm using the very popular pfSense firewall in my ovirt infrastructure; pfSense is based on FreeBSD. It would be great to have ovirt-guest-agent also fot this platform.
FreeNas is also freebsd based and it ships by default vmware agent. It would be nice to get ovirt agent on it as well but for doing so we need the guest agent to run on freebsd too.
+1 For pfSense ovirt-guest-agent
+1 for pfSense ovirt-guest-agent
Targeting late due to capacity
ovirt-guest-agent is EOL In RHV 4.3. We are migrating to qemu-guest-agent, which should work on FreeBSD AFAIK
