It allows the hypervisor host to perform various operations in +the guest, such as: +- get information from the guest, +- set the guest's system time, +- read/write a file, +- sync and freeze the filesystems, +- suspend the guest, +- reconfigure guest local processors, +- set user's password. + +Note that qemu-ga (QEMU Guest Agent) is also part of the standard QEMU +installation. This package is intended for guests only, so that you don't have +to install the complete qemu package there. In general, do not install both +qemu-guest-agent and qemu packages at the same time on the same machine. + +Use rc.qemu-ga to launch the daemon at boot and to stop it at shutdown. +You will need to perform host side setup too, to take the advantage of qemu-ga. |
