Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: virt-who-0.10-8.el6_6.1 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the virt-who agent was too slow when reading the association between hosts and guests from VMWare ESX systems. As a consequence, when communicating with large ESX (or vCenter) deployments, it took a lot of time to send updates about virtual guests to the Subscription Asset Manager (SAM) and Red Hat Satellite. With this update, virt-who uses an improved method to obtain host-guest association, which accelerates the aforementioned process.

Description Jan Kurik 2015-03-02 07:50:59 UTC
This bug has been copied from bug #1155679 and has been proposed
to be backported to 6.6 z-stream (EUS).

Comment 4 Radek Novacek 2015-03-10 11:07:36 UTC
It is not possible to backport the patch directly, but basically the same changes can be applied to the older version of virt-who.

Comment 5 Radek Novacek 2015-03-17 09:41:38 UTC
Fixed in virt-who-0.10-8.el6_6.1.

Hi
  I'm xingge from entitlement QE, and we are in charge of virt-who testing, but we don't have the environment to do the performance testing with a large amount of machines. can we let the bug reproter to verify this bug?
  Thanks a lot

Hi Xingge,
sorry forgot that BZ comment editing doesn't send out notifications - dgoodwin helped confirm yesterday that version 0.12 (which is newer and includes this fix and others) is recommended so I'd cleared the NEEDINFO and updated Comment 12 in place. :)

virt-who.0-12-esx-rhsm.log

Tested in Customer Environment.  rhsm.log now has a lot of noise but everything appears to be functioning properly. Can we confirm the cause, if it is necessary to have this, or if this may have an impact besides extra logging?  It would be great if someone could explain it so we can make a KCS and be able to explain it to customers.

Comment 16 Radek Novacek 2015-04-07 08:02:31 UTC
These error messages are not relevant to the z-stream issue that is described in this bug. Let's move the discussion to bug 1155679.

Comment 17 xingge 2015-04-13 09:56:39 UTC
Since the log issue is moved to another bug should we set this bug as Verified to close it and push the errata to the next step?

Comment 18 Radek Novacek 2015-04-14 06:25:52 UTC
I think this bug can be marked as verified.
