[Qemu-devel] Not able to run "virsh qemu-agent-command" when socat is working

[Puneet Bakshi]

Hi,

I am running qemu guest agent in Windows 2k8. I am able to execute
"qemu-agent-commands" using socat but not through "virsh
qemu-agent-command".


*Guest VM xml*

    <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'>
      <alias name='virtio-serial0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05'
function='0x0'/>
    </controller>

    <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/g06.agent'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.1'/>
      <alias name='channel0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>


*Guest win2k8 is running following command*

    C:\qemu-ga> qemu-ga.exe -t c:\qemu-ga -p
\\.Global\org.qemu.guest_agent.1


*Host CentOS system*

socat returns response appropriately.
    [root@sdsr720-14 ~]# echo "{'execute':'guest-ping'}" | socat
stdio,ignoreeof /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/g06.agent
    {"return": {}}

*"virsh qemu-agent-command" returns blank.*

    [root@sdsr720-14 ~]# virsh qemu-agent-command vm_win_06 '{ "execute":
"guest_ping"}'

    [root@sdsr720-14 ~]#


Why "virsh qemu-agent-command" is not working? Am I doing something wrong
here?
