Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Radek Novacek 2015-07-07 15:11:18 UTC

There is new API in candlepin for asynchronous reporting of host/guest associations. virt-who should support it without any behaviour changes (apart from ability to process other changes while the associations are being processed).

Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2015-07-16 15:40:08 UTC

This new API is used by default in virt-who-0.14-2.el7 if the server supports it.

Be aware that there was a bug in candlepin that prevented this feature to work and threw InsufficientPermission exception. It's now fixed by https://github.com/candlepin/candlepin/pull/938. Make sure you're using fixed version when testing this.

Comment 3 Liushihui 2015-08-04 08:20:28 UTC

Can't verify it now since it blocked by bug 1248955

Comment 5 Radek Novacek 2015-09-23 08:23:49 UTC

I've removed this bug from the advisory because it can't be tested right now. Moving to RHEL-7.3.

Comment 9 Radek Novacek 2016-09-22 09:11:32 UTC

This bug is not testable as it requires candlepin 2.0, that is not yet released. Moving this bug to 7.4.
