Description ASHISH ADHAU 2016-10-09 04:40:26 UTC

Description of problem:
Virtual guest are consuming physical licences instead of Virtual datacenter license.
It has been observed sometimes virtual guest content host shows ESX hypervisor name and sometime shows some long number 3305-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX... which seems to be a duplicate entry.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1.9

How reproducible:
Once you observed the virtual guest is switching between ESX hypervisor name and long name (assuming duplicate entry)
Below are the steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install virt-who on Satellite server
2. configure /etc/sysconfig/virt-who and /etc/virt-who.d/somehypervisor.conf
3. start/restart virt-who service on satellite server
5. Register the host with the subscription manager command
6. Attach poolid of available virtual Datacenter.
7. After some time run subscription-manager refresh, It will delete the local certificate,
8. subscription-manager list --consumed will show it is consuming physical licence instead of

Actual results:
virt-who will auto-detect a content host, and would auto-detect type as hypervisor, and name it as <hostname> and consume one license.with the hostname, duplicate entry is found and consuming virtual datacenter licence (Burning two virtual datacenter licenses)

Virtual guest are consuming physical licences.

Expected results:
Virt-who should auto detect the duplication of hypervisor and virtual guest should be consuming virtual datacenter licenses instead of physical one.

This issue may not be present in 6.2 since virt-who doesn't automatically attach subscriptions to hypervisors.
