August 30, 20223 yr Hey every one, I need of your help I have a problem with Guest Agent I can't connect to VM with VNC since some days. I have this error on Libvirt log : 5627: error : qemuDomainAgentAvailable:8610 : Guest agent is not responding: QEMU guest agent is not connected. At the end of july, I successed during 2 weeks to use WIN11 VM RDC (Remove Desktop Control). However, one days, impossible to connect to VM. I may have changed some settings but I don't know witch one. I have attached the diagnostics file I didn't find a solution on internet I tried to : - reboot NAS - delete Libvirt volume and create a new one - create new VM Win11 and Win10 with i440fx and Q35 config Win 11 Config : Libvirt config : Thanks for you help Ps : I'm sorry for my not perfect English 🙂 Paul serveurpaul-diagnostics-20220830-2019.zip
September 26, 20223 yr Community Expert Solution The guest agent error message is not a problem. It is used to get the IP addresses of the guest VM but requires you to install the guest agent on the VM. I did look to see if the message can be suprresed but not found a way to do it yet.

October 26, 20223 yr Hi @SimonF, Thank you for looking into this. The problem is that when this happens I am unable to remote onto the VM. The apps hosted on the vm are unresponsive, and i need to do a force shutdown and start it again in order to get it working. Are you saying that the 2 are unrelated? Thanks, George

Thanks, George Yes guest agent is only actioned when in the vm tab to get the ip address on the guest.
October 27, 20223 yr Author Hi, This week, I had some network problems and I had to reinitialize the network configuration. At the same time, I update unraid (6.11.1) . That resolved the problem, yesterday I succeed to connect on VNC I tried with WIN11 VM. However, I don't if the update and reset of network config are the solution. Paul
October 27, 20223 yr Ok, so its not the agent causing the VM to freeze. I have removed the Nvidia GPU passthrough to see if it is more stable that way. If that is the cause I will drop logs and diags here and see if anyone can help. Thanks, G Edited October 27, 20223 yr by [email protected]
November 1, 20223 yr Community Expert The PR to fix the error message has been merged so will be in the next release. IP will now show following output Guest not running Guest agent no installed IP addresses
November 1, 20223 yr Turns out the problem was the GPU passthrough. Having plex on the vm with a gpu did not work well. I moved plex on docker and used the nvidia driver plugin and now plex is rock solid. I delete the VM as it was only running plex. I dont know why it was freezing before but as it works with docker i'm gona drop it and see if it happens again on another vm with a gpu.
November 16, 20223 yr Community Expert I have created a new PR to stop the tainted custom-ga-command log enties.
