[one-users] OpenNebula and Qemu Guest Agent

[Javier Fontan]

OpenNebula does not support the agent out of the box but it shouldn't
be too hard to make it work.

The virtio serial port can be easily added using RAW parameter in the template:

RAW=[
  TYPE="kvm",
  DATA="<devices><channel type='unix'><source mode='bind'><target
type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/></channel></devices>"]

In case you are going to add it to all the VMs you can add as a
default raw parameter for all templates in
/etc/one/vmm_exec/vmm_exec_kvm.conf.

Now to make use of it in shutdown and reboot you can modify
/var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/kvm/{shutdown,reboot} and add '--mode agent'
parameter to the commands. For example, for shutdown:

shutdown_command="virsh --connect $LIBVIRT_URI shutdown --mode agent $deploy_id"

After these modifications use "onehost sync" command to transfer the
modified files to the remote hosts.

Cheers
