Bug 1127965

Do I understand it correctly that the customer wants _remote_ connection to libvirt to be supported in virt-who?

Support for remote libvirt connections has been added to upstream repository:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-who.git/commit/?id=bfc6385a0052eb5425951de21f894a3771032332

This feature is present in the latest build: virt-who-0.11-2.el7.

Check it on virt-who-0.11-2.el7. It still can't send the host/guest associate to SAM server when virt-who run at in remote libvirtd mode. Therefore, reopen it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.13.6-1.el7.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.13.6-1.el7.x86_64
virt-who-0.11-2.el7.noarch
katello-headpin-1.4.3.28-1.el6sam_splice.noarch
candlepin-0.9.6.5-1.el6sam.noarch

Reproduced process:
Make system has been registered to SAM server
1. Copy the ssh-key :
[root@hp-z220-06 ~]# ssh-keygen
[root@hp-z220-06 ~]# ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 10.66.100.110
2. Configure virt-who run at remote libvirtd mode
VIRTWHO_LIBVIRT_OWNER=lshtest
VIRTWHO_LIBVIRT_ENV=library
VIRTWHO_LIBVIRT_SERVER=qemu+ssh://10.66.100.110/system
VIRTWHO_LIBVIRT_USERNAME=root
VIRTWHO_LIBVIRT_PASSWORD=
3. Restart virt-who and check the log as the following

Actual results:
Virt-who doesn't send the host to SAM server, virt-who should use hypervisorCheckIn instead of sendVirtGuests in remote libvirtd mode

Fixed in virt-who-0.11-3.el7.

Verified it on virt-who-0.11-3.el7.
