I do not see anything related to <channel type='unix'>

--------------------------------------------

This is what is returned when looking for the channel:

# ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel
ls: cannot access /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel: No such file or
directory

---------------------------------------------

Thank you in advance for any direction you can provide.

Kind regards,

-Frank

I've done it with little trouble.

Please post the xml of the guest...

You should be able to find something like this in the xml:
<channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='bind' 
path='/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-PCVIRTdra/org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0' state='connected'/>
      <alias name='channel0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/>
    </channel>

If not, please make sure the location for the channel exist and has the correct 
access rights:

address@hidden:~# ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel
totaal 4,0K
drwxr-xr-x 10 libvirt-qemu kvm 4,0K jul  1 08:57 target
