WORKAROUND:

Critical: Users utilizing virtualization and associated subscriptions that require virt-who should specify the --sam flag for virt-who and not --satellite even thou that option looks like the correct flag to use.

master commit b4a12c4e095f5d5376029e295d4bc28f05c22833

Please provide Test steps for verifying this bug.

I tried installing virt-who 0.13 manually and I can see --sam option for Satellite 6(default) and --satellite for Satellite 5.

virt-who 0.13 --help output:
Subscription manager:
    Choose where the host/guest associations should be reported

    --sam               Report host/guest associations to the Subscription
                        Asset Manager or Satellite 6 [default]
    --satellite         Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 5

Please confirm the version of virt-who.

On a system with 0.12-6, we are seeing the correct options here.

Hi William,

The Virt-who version is 0.13 as mentioned in Comment 9. I can see the options are correct for Virt-who 0.13

Please confirm on closing this bug.

Confirm on Comment 11.

This is the expected output in that section of help

Subscription manager:
    Choose where the host/guest associations should be reported

    --sam               Report host/guest associations to the Subscription
                        Asset Manager [default]
    --satellite6        Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 6
                        server
    --satellite5        Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 5
                        server


If it matches and those options have the desired effect, then we should be done.

I think reason that comment 9 does not see William's changes is because these brew builds for 0.13-1 appear to be based on 0.12-1; not 0.12-2 which is where Radek merged comment 10.

NEEDINFO on dgoodwin.  You should probably consider a new build of virt-who for satellite-6.0.1

The following version of virt-who came from the latest RHEL-6.7-candidate brew builds.

[root@jsefler-os6server ~]# rpm -q virt-who
virt-who-0.12-10.el6.noarch
[root@jsefler-os6server ~]# virt-who --help | grep -C1 -- --sa
Usage: virt-who [-d] [-i INTERVAL] [-b] [-o] [--sam|--satellite5|--satellite6] [--libvirt|--vdsm|--esx|--rhevm|--hyperv]

--

    --sam               Report host/guest associations to the Subscription
                        Asset Manager [default]
    --satellite6        Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 6
                        server
    --satellite5        Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 5
                        server
--
  Satellite 5 options:
    Use these options with --satellite5

    --satellite-server=SAT_SERVER
                        Satellite server URL
    --satellite-username=SAT_USERNAME
                        Username for connecting to Satellite server
    --satellite-password=SAT_PASSWORD
                        Password for connecting to Satellite server

These are the options that William implemented in comment 5.
The virt-who QA team should verify that the options function as desired against a SAM, Satellite5, and Satellite6 environment.

Ok this is a bit of a complicated situation. So 0.13 was tagged and built for satellite. It missed the commit in question by one.

Meanwhile Radeck has been selectively backporting things to 0.12 stream for RHEL, so some of the 0.12 builds have newer code than 0.13.

If you verify this using 0.12+, you should see the correct behavior.

Radeck plans to rebase to 0.14 for 7.2 next week. When this happens, I can build into Satellite tags if this is desired.

As per the latest mail from Thomas Mlcoch for New Errata Compose, 
I downloaded Virt-who 0.13 for RHEL 71 from the given mail link, 
And I can see the options for Virt-who are displayed wrong

Virt-who 0.13 --help:

  Choose where the host/guest associations should be reported

    --sam               Report host/guest associations to the Subscription
                        Asset Manager or Satellite 6 [default]
    --satellite         Report host/guest associations to the Satellite 5


So as per discussion with Mike Mccune on IRC that if Virt-who 0.13 is not not showing correct options then just Fail QA it.

So moving this bug to Assigned state.

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Commit should be in current build

This is in build 14 of virt-who. This is in the release.

Since we have actually verified the same issue in the bug [1] against the Satellite6.1.0-20150716, so moving this bug to be verified according to the testing result [1]. Thanks!
