Added option to install Qemu Guest Agents #332

Closed ader1990 closed 2 years ago

ader1990 commented 4 years ago

Added option to install Qemu Guest Agents: [custom] install_qemu_ga=False

If set to True, it will download and install the Qemu Guest Agents from Fedora website. The base path for the agents is https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-qemu-ga/qemu-ga-win-100.0.0.0-3.el7ev/ The downloaded MSI will be chosen depending on the architecture of the image, x86 or x64.

For example, on x64 images, the following MSI installer will be downloaded and used: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-qemu-ga/qemu-ga-win-100.0.0.0-3.el7ev/qemu-ga-x64.msi By default, the imaging tools will not install the Qemu Guest Agents.

The MSI will install two services on the Windows image:

The Qemu Guest Agents are useful if the Windows instance runs on OpenStack (KVM hypervisor is required).

If the Windows instance is managed by OpenStack, runs on KVM and QEMU-GA service is running, the user password can be changed using the OpenStack Nova command:

nova set-password

Requirement1: if the nova command fails, the instance might enter an error state and you need to reset the instance state:

nova reset-state --active

Requirement: the Glance image needs to modified in the following way, BEFORE the instance gets created:

glance image-update --property hw_qemu_guest_agent=True \ --property os_admin_user=Admin --property os_type=windows

os_admin_user is the user that will have the password changed. Defaults to user 'root'. If 'os_type' property is set to 'windows', the default user is 'Administrator'. If you modify the required Glance image properties after you created the instance, the nova set-password will not function.

looks good. Just one comment.

@AlekseyChudov I saw that you need the qemu guest agents in https://github.com/AlekseyChudov/windows-kvm-imaging-tools. It would be great if you could review this PR in case you need it.
