Comment 6 jcallaha 2020-08-06 14:50:24 UTC 
Verification for this bug lies on the virt-who product since the fix if used when virt-who gathers information from the hypervisors.

In order to verify, you will need at least two hypervisors with the same dmi uuid.

To test the negative, gather a virt-who report as usual.

To test the fix, add a custom fact to one or more of the hosts setting a new value for dmi.system.uuid
Comment 8 William Poteat 2020-09-04 16:03:51 UTC 
This is a question for the people in the Satellite [Katello] group.

virt-who is sending the information as requested. The "Name has already been taken" message does not come from Candlepin.
Comment 9 Kunxin Huang 2020-09-07 11:14:04 UTC 
So, based on the information above, shall we change the component to katello-agent? What is your opinion?
Comment 10 Jonathon Turel 2020-09-08 13:16:08 UTC 
Moving to Hosts-Content so my team can take a look at the validation error
