Limitations

  • Guest tools rely on the QEMU guest agent that is installed alongside the tools. The agent service must be running for the tools to work.

Prerequisites

  • Virtual machines are created, as described in Creating virtual machines.

  • The virtual machine has a guest operating system installed.
