VM 100 Guest Agent - Issue Confirmed and Fixed

Date: 2025-12-09
Status: GUEST AGENT NOW CONFIGURED


Issue Confirmed

Problem: Guest agent was NOT configured during VM 100 creation.

Evidence:

  • Initial check: qm config 100 | grep '^agent:' returned nothing
  • Manual fix applied: qm set 100 --agent 1
  • Verification: agent: 1 now present

Root Cause Analysis

Why Guest Agent Wasn't Set

The code SHOULD set agent: 1 at line 317 in client.go before VM creation:

vmConfig := map[string]interface{}{
    ...
    "agent":  "1",   // Should be set here
}

Possible Reasons:

  1. Provider Version: The provider running in Kubernetes doesn't include this fix
  2. Timing: VM 100 was created before the code fix was deployed
  3. Deployment: Provider wasn't rebuilt/redeployed after code changes

Fix Applied

On Proxmox Node:

qm set 100 --agent 1
qm config 100 | grep '^agent:'
# Result: agent: 1

Status: FIXED


Impact

Before Fix

  • Guest agent not configured
  • Proxmox couldn't communicate with VM guest
  • qm guest exec commands would fail
  • VM status/details unavailable via guest agent

After Fix

  • Guest agent configured (agent: 1)
  • Proxmox can communicate with VM guest
  • qm guest exec commands will work (once OS package installed)
  • VM status/details available via guest agent

Next Steps

  1. Guest Agent: Fixed
  2. Verify Other Config: Boot order, disk, cloud-init, network
  3. Start VM: qm start 100
  4. Monitor: Watch for boot and cloud-init completion
  5. Verify Services: Check qemu-guest-agent service once VM boots

Prevention

For Future VMs

  1. Rebuild Provider: Ensure latest code is built into provider image
  2. Redeploy Provider: Update provider in Kubernetes with latest image
  3. Verify Code: Confirm agent: 1 is in vmConfig before POST (line 317)

Code Verification

The fix is in place at:

  • Line 317: Initial VM creation
  • Line 242: Cloning path
  • Line 671: Update path

All paths should set agent: 1.


Verification Commands

Check Current Config

qm config 100 | grep -E 'agent:|boot:|scsi0:|ide2:|net0:'

Test Guest Agent (after VM boots)

qm guest exec 100 -- systemctl status qemu-guest-agent

Status: GUEST AGENT FIXED | READY FOR FINAL VERIFICATION AND START
