I'm using RHEL5 as a KVM virtual machine
Are there any guest tools for kvm on RHEL5?
Even if I check the REDHAT download site,
there is an agent for RHEV-M, but it seems that there is no one for KVM
Any information is welcome.
I've been having a look at this and I don't think the kvm guest agent was ever created for RHEL 5. There's a version of ovirt-guest-agent that can be downloaded from EPEL5 but I don't think it'll do. Plus I've been having some issues getting it running on a RHEL5 system running in new KVM, so.... it's dead, Jim.
@INAKA : if you want to have a go, here's the repo I found. But I don't think it'll work for you. Good luck! https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/5/x86_64/ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.13-2.el5.noarch.rpm
Hi @INAKA ,
Thanks for reaching out !
Any particular reason for using RHEL 5 which is already End Of Life ? because of EOL , there may not be any tools available on the RH site for RHEL 5 related stuffs.
Hi! @Chetan_Timwary_
Thank you very much for your reply

Due to certain circumstances, I have to migrate RHEL5 in the VMware environment to the kvm environment. And RHEL5 cannot be upgraded for some reason,

But , i can download RHEL5 packages from below REDHAT site
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---5/5.6/x86_64/packages
best regards
but there is no "guest tools for kvm on RHEL5" on this site.
what package name are you looking for, exactly?
They're prolly looking for something like these -> https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/virtual_machine_manage...
But yeah, that page also only mentions versions 6, 7 and 8.
