Issue
I just migrated my CMA from VMware to Proxmox and would like to activate the
“QEMU guest agent.” This would be helpful for extended Proxmox features, just like VM-tools is helpful for VMware environments. The QEMU guest agent is shown as present in the default CMA image but is unable to start - apparently due to missing dependencies…which are not described.
Is it possible this tool can be activated? If so, how can it be done without mucking up the CMA?
Or is there no support for running CMA on a Proxmox host? Please advise.
