Hello,
I’m trying to reinstall HA, but I keep getting a “Failed QEMU Guest Agent”. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
If you are using virt-manager:
- Add Hardware->Channel
- Name: org.qemu-guest_agent.0
- Device Type: Unix socket
- Restart the VM.
BTW, the error itself is not really a problem. libvirt on the host uses the channel to talk to the QEMU Guest Agent running on HAOS which in turn can do a few things on the Guest, but again its not so much a problem if the channel is not setup.
Hi @wmaker I’m a bit oblivious to this. I’m using VMWare Workstation 17 Player and I don’t see the option to add the Qemu Guest Agent. Appreciate the help.
I had this same issue and found the network settings in HA were set incorrectly. If your system continues booting to the command line interface then you can check the network by issuing the command: ha> network info It will show the interfaces and you want to make sure the ipv4 address is the same as your home assistant instance. also make sure the gateway address is the same as your router gateway. If you need to change them you can use the command: ha> network update --ipv4-address 192.168.xx.xx/24 (putting in your home assistant address). You can also change the gateway with the command: ha> network update --ipv4-gateway 192.168.xx.xx (putting in your router’s gateway address).
I use libvirt to manage my QEMU/KVM, so I just assumed you were using it too. I don’t know anything really about VMWare Workstation, so can’t help.
