QEMU Guest Agent version for FreeBSD guest
This port provides "as is". Some commands is not working, for example "fsfreeze". We try to make a patches for vcpu and fs features at FreeBSD. Command reference and current command support status in FreeBSD can be found here Be Careful. Port builds without any docs.
Port tested at FreeBSD 12
virtio_console driver in FreeBSD 11 doesn't support aliasing virtio channels in devfs. Use direct path for control device. eq:
qemu_guest_agent_flags="-d -v -l /var/log/qemu-ga.log -p /dev/ttyV0.2"
Before using and compiling QEMU Guest Agent, make sure the module "virtio_console" is loaded
Run following command in console
# kldload virtio_console
For permanent loading virtio_console driver add next line to /boot/loader.conf
virtio_console_load="YES"
And check filesystem contents
# ls -al /dev/vtcon/

Flags means:
-d - daemon
-v - verbose
-l /var/log/qemu-ga.log - log all to file
For detailed help use qemu-ga -h
After installing qemu-guest-agent, run it with command:
# service qemu-guest-agent start
Navigate to /var/log directory and check file qemu-ga.log.
