QEMU Guest Agent install

[Pedulla]

uname -a
Linux DVA3221 4.4.180+ #42962 SMP Mon May 29 14:37:35 CST 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_denverton_dva3221

running as a VM on PVE 8.03 with gpu passthrough.

Works great.

Is it possible to install the QEMU Guest Agent on the DVA3221?

It is possible, you need to add software repository https://spk7.imnks.com

Find Qemu Guest Agent tool

Install it and don't start at first. Then you need to ssh in your Xpeno and run this command, as described:

sudo sed -i 's/package/root/g' /var/packages/qemu-ga/conf/privilege

After that you need to stop Xpeno VM, turn on Qemu Guest Agent in VM options at Proxmox console:

 

And start your XPeno VM again with working Qemu Guest Agent integration.

DSM 7.2.2 Qemu doesnt start. :\

Is there a solution that is NOT from a Chinese website?

I did everything but when I press run in the "plugin" of qemu comes below the name of quemu guest agent appears in green "starting..." then it changes to "running..." and then it changes to "stopped manually" and a window appears that says "this package will run with root privileges in Chinese and English" with the accept button, I press it and it does nothing more... and the guest stops working...

Same here !! It not working on DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1

 

I can fix it with below step:

- Uninstall package

- Reinstall package

- SSH to DSM and run command (It not running at this step)

sudo sed -i 's/package/root/g' /var/packages/qemu-ga/conf/privilege

- Reboot DSM (COnfirm on proxmox QEMU Guest agent is enabled)

- Final, it working. 

+ on DMS you can see package  is running 

+ on promox you can see DSM IP addess displayed

 

Good luck !!!

If anyone runs across this thread as I did while looking for a solution, I was also a little sketch on picking up this not-so-well documented bit of root control for my VM NAS.

 

If you're looking for another version that appears to be at least a little more more openly under development, I came across this pull request that has steps in one of the posts about how to pull a newer version of this and load it onto your machine.  

 

Worked for me.  There's instructions on maybe the 5th post or so on how to get this.

Hello, I've followed all the instructions on wizard, but after apply the sudo command, and click repair, the problem seems to persist. My DSM versión is 7.2.2

Same here. I've even added a serial port as mentioned above and entered it's device path during the qemu-ga install.

Sorry for the way late reply - I hardly come here any more (mainly because getting answers here takes so long, sorry for adding to that problem, lol).  It looks like this is now officially part of the syno-community repo.  You can either add the repo to your package center and search/install from there, or download from here and manually install.  https://synocommunity.com/package/qemu-ga

In addition to installing this package, addons that enable the QEMU guest agent for each Redpill loader must be used:
