Description Leo Thomas 2015-09-01 20:02:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

The virt-who fake backend fails to work with virt-who.noarch-0.14-1.el6_6sat.noarch 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-who.noarch-0.14-1.el6_6sat.noarch 


How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install virt-who.noarch-0.14-1.el6_6sat.noarch on the server.

Collect host/guest mapping to create fake virt-who file using following command :-

# virt-who --esx --esx-owner=Default_Organization --esx-env=Library --esx-server=lab-ex5.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com --esx-username=root --esx-password=RedHat1! -p -d > /root/fake

Configure virt-who as following :-

cat /etc/virt-who.d/virt 

[fake-virt]
type=fake
file=/root/fake
is_hypervisor=True
owner=Defualt_Organization
env=Library 

cat /etc/sysconfig/virt-who

VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1

Restart virt-who service 

Actual results:

tailf /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

2015-09-02 00:47:30,800 [DEBUG]  @virtwho.py:152 - Starting infinite loop with 3600 seconds interval
2015-09-02 00:47:31,093 [ERROR]  @virtwho.py:123 - Error in communication with subscription manager:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py", line 107, in send
    self._sendGuestAssociation(report)
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py", line 134, in _sendGuestAssociation
    result = manager.hypervisorCheckIn(report.config, report.association, report.config.type)
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/manager/subscriptionmanager/subscriptionmanager.py", line 145, in hypervisorCheckIn
    serialized_mapping[host] = [guest.toDict() for guest in guests]
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'toDict'

Expected results:

virt-who should send the host/guest mapping to Satellite and should see the following message on the rhsm.log file

[INFO]  @virtwho.py:147 - virt-who host/guest association update successful

Additional info:

virt-who-0.12-10.el6.noarch works perfectly with the same configuration file. 

tailf /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2015-09-29 11:56:10 UTC 
This issue has been addressed upstream and will be part of rebased virt-who package.
Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2015-12-17 12:30:59 UTC 
Fixed by rebase to virt-who-0.16-1.el6.
Comment 5 Liushihui 2016-02-24 08:14:33 UTC 
Verified it on virt-who-0.16-4.el6.noarch since virt-who can send host/guest mapping to server when run at fake mode. Therefore, verified it.

Verified version:
virt-who-0.16-4.el6.noarch
subscription-manager-1.16.8-2.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.16.6-1.el6.x86_64

Verified process:
1 Register system to satellite6
2 Collect host/guest mapping to create fake virt-who file using following command:
[root@sgi-xe500-01 ~]# virt-who --esx --esx-owner=Default_Organization --esx-env=Library --esx-server=10.73.2.95 --esx-username=root --esx-password=Welcome1! -p -d > /root/fake
[root@sgi-xe500-01 ~]# cat /root/fake
{"hypervisors": [{"uuid": "7a384d56-085c-0e32-c7ad-f7181c3f6ddf", "guests": []}, {"uuid": "77ea4d56-2176-2518-74f6-d350749401dd", "guests": []}, {"uuid": "c74a4d56-677e-dd13-828f-617c5cdf0329", "guests": []}, {"uuid": "60554d56-20cb-f25e-7ab9-33e7e330dc15", "guests": []}, {"uuid": "3e504d56-3982-037b-f3e6-669289892fa1", "guests": [{"guestId": "564db653-006a-906b-d2e3-43e033df954a", "state": 5, "attributes": {"active": 0, "hypervisorVersion": "6.0.0", "virtWhoType": "esx", "hypervisorType": "VMware ESXi"}}]}]}
3. Configure virt-who run at fake mode as the following:
[root@sgi-xe500-01 ~]# cat /etc/virt-who.d/virt 
[fake-virt]
type=fake
file=/root/fake
is_hypervisor=True
owner=Defualt_Organization
env=Library
[root@sgi-xe500-01 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/virt-who  | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=2
4. Check virt-who log in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log
