VM_QEMU_PING : QEMU Guest Agent monitoring disabled

I created a virtual machine (VM) in OpenNebula 7.0.1 and enabled the QEMU Guest Agent in the VM template.
After installing the OS on the VM, I installed qemu-guest-agent on it. However, when I checked with onevm show , the following line appeared:

VM_QEMU_PING : QEMU Guest Agent monitoring disabled

Even though I’ve installed and run qemu-guest-agent on the OS. Why is this happening?

Hi,

Just some questions about it. Was the VM rebooted (powering off and powering on?). I’ve experienced that a simple reboot is not enough for the agent to connect to the virtual qemu serial port.

thanks!
