RHV 4.3 Guest Agents
"! The latest guest agent needs to be installed and running on the guest"
Documentation for RHV-M guest agent installation for RHEL6 and RHEL7 it suggests that the service name is ovirt-guest-agent - this does not look to be the case, and qemu-ga works just fine (when that fails). As an aide-memoire to myself if nothing else - the below work at the time of writing and make the above error message go away. Huzzah!
Install RHEL6 RHV Guest Agent
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-rhv-4-agent-rpms # yum install qemu-guest-agent # service qemu-ga start # chkconfig qemu-ga on
