Description João Saraiva 2019-12-30 17:33:30 UTC

Description of problem:
In the same satellite server if you have one organization managing hypervisors and their subscriptions and other organizations managing the VMs running on those hypervisors (and other physical servers), the VMs cannot obtain a valid subscription because the organizations managing them have no visibility on the VM/hypervisor mapping reported by the virt-who instance configured in the organization that manages the hypervisors.
Configuring a virt-who instance in each of the organizations managing the VMs implies that those organizations have to have subscriptions for the hypervisors which would result in subscribing the same hypervisors many times and wasting subscriptions which doesn't make sense.
Otherwise everything would have to be in one organization. In companies where different departments manage their own subscriptions we cannot have only one satellite organization, that's not a good solution.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Mike - We (Nokia Global Account Team) had a meeting with the Nokia IT team which raised this Bugzilla just today.
Are you able to provide us a little bit more customer friendly rationale for the decision ?
I promised João to track the Bugzilla status. This is the only RFE request from that team currently

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
