I don't have any experience with the QEMU guest agent, but that page says this: "Currently, QEMU exposes GA via virtio serial port." I found some instructions from the Fedora project [0]: ------ When starting qemu or kvm guests from the command line, add something like this: -device virtio-serial \ -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo \ -device virtserialport,chardev=foo,name=org.fedoraproject.port.0 ------ I recommend you consult the QEMU manual and help channels for further instructions.
