Note that it is only safe to rely on the QEMU guest agent when run by trusted guests. This section covers the libvirt commands and options available to the guest agent. The guest operating system then responds to those commands asynchronously. The QEMU guest agent runs inside the guest and allows the host machine to issue commands to the guest operating system using libvirt, helping with functions such as freezing and thawing filesystems.

These agents are described in this chapter. Setting up communication between the QEMU guest agent and host with virt-manager. Setting up communication between guest agent and host on a running Linux guest. Nightly Builds Nightly builds are generated from upstream git master.Setting up communication between guest agent and host with virsh on a shut down Linux guest.
