Description Waldirio M Pinheiro 2018-04-19 01:08:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Some customers are facing issue when virt-who is trying to retrieve the vCenter information. In all cases the issue started without any change/update on Satellite / Packages / Configuration side.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.21.5-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
only on customer env. I'm trying to reproduce inhouse but without success.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
---
2018-04-18 08:38:07,747 [virtwho.main ERROR] MainProcess(6836):Thread-2 @virt.py:run:388 - Thread 'virt-who-config-3' fails with exception:

    uuid = host['config.network.dnsConfig.hostName']
KeyError: 'config.network.dnsConfig.hostName'

Expected results:
No issues, virt-who collecting data normally from vCenter side.

Given that we would like to handle by being more resilient in virt-who, changing product/component

Comment 26 William Poteat 2018-04-26 17:17:19 UTC
Business justification (customer impact; how would the defect impact customers’  business? why is it not possible to wait for a fix in Y-Stream?):

The defect causes ESX host reporting to fail. If any of the hosts in the network are missing the unique id as configured in the virt-who installation, then none of those hosts are reported to the server. In this scenario, the host/guest mappings are not captured and host-dependent subscriptions cannot be assigned to the guests. The Y-stream for 7.6 is not set to release until October.


How many customers are impacted by this defect?
The bugzilla for this has 6 customer issues attached. Any customer using VMWare, VSphere, or ESX may be affected.


When was the defect introduced in this major version of RHEL? Is it a regression?
This was introduced between 7.4 and 7.5 and it is a regression.


What is the minimal patch set to fix this bug? (link, git commit,...)
