Description Jan Hutař 2015-10-27 08:09:16 UTC
Description of problem:
Rarely spacewalkkoan tries to start guest (on libvirtd, after it finishes installation) although it is running and libvirt returns:

[...]
- install is still running, sleeping for 1 minute (28)
- install is still running, sleeping for 1 minute (29)
- shutdown VM detected, is the install done?  Restarting!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
koan-2.0.7-53.el6sat.noarch
spacewalk-koan-2.3.0-2.el6sat.noarch
libvirt-python-0.10.2-54.el6_7.2.x86_64
(running against Satellite 5.7.0 if that is importnat)


How reproducible:
very rarely (seen this kind of error for first time I guess)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision libvirtd guest and watch `rhn_check -vv` output on the virt host


Actual results:
Failure returned by libvirt to Satellite


Expected results:
Should work reliably

Comment 2 Tomas Lestach 2018-04-09 14:50:18 UTC
We have re-reviewed this bug, as part of an ongoing effort to improve Satellite/Proxy feature and bug updates, review and backlog.

This is a low priority bug and has no currently open customer cases. While this bug may still valid, we do not see it being implemented prior to the EOL of the Satellite 5.x product. As such, this is being CLOSED DEFERRED. 

Closing now to help set customer expectations as early as possible. You are welcome to re-open this bug if needed.
