QEMU Guest Agent (qemu-ga) is a daemon intended to be run within
|
|
virtual machines. It allows the hypervisor host to perform various
|
|
operations in the guest, such as:
|
|
- get information from the guest,
|
|
- set the guest's system time,
|
|
- read/write a file,
|
|
- sync and freeze the filesystems,
|
|
- suspend the guest,
|
|
- reconfigure guest local processors,
|
|
- set user's password.
|
|
|
|
Note that qemu-ga (QEMU Guest Agent) is also part of the standard QEMU
|
|
installation. This package is intended for guests only, so that you
|
|
do not have to install the full qemu package just to get qemu-ga.
|
|
In general, do not install both qemu-guest-agent and qemu packages at
|
|
the same time on the same machine.
|
|
|
|
Use rc.qemu-ga to launch the daemon at boot and to stop it at shutdown.
|
|
You will need to perform host side setup too, to take the advantage of
|
|
qemu-ga.
