Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jessica Richards 2022-12-01 18:12:34 UTC
Description of problem:

On a Satellite 6 server on RHEL 7, where FIPS was enabled at build time, virt-who fails to update Satellite.


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

virt-who-0.28.10-1.el7_9.noarch
satellite-6.11.4-2.el7sat.noarch
redhat-release-server-7.9-6.el7_9.x86_64


How reproducible:

unclear; only one example so far


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  create a RHEL 7 host with FIPS enabled
2.  install satellite
3.  configure virt-who for a VMware environment
4.  check the logs:  /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log, /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log, /var/log/secure

Actual results:

The Satellite server doesn't show new hypervisors under Hosts > All Hosts, and subscriptions like RHEL for VDC don't work when applied to guests of hypervisors.

Log entries like these in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log:

Nov 30 09:42:07 SERVERNAME /usr/bin/virt-who: 2022-11-30 09:42:07,830 [virtwho.main ERROR] MainProcess(9193):Thread-3 @virt.py:run:416 - Thread 'virt-who-config-2' fails with error: Cannot recv data: FIPS mode initialized#015#012Host key verification failed.: Connection reset by peer
Nov 30 09:42:07 SERVERNAME /usr/bin/virt-who: 2022-11-30 09:42:07,835 [virtwho.main ERROR] MainProcess(9193):Thread-5 @libvirtd.py:_connect:288 - Error in libvirt backend#012libvirtError: Cannot recv data: Value too large for defined data type


Expected results:

The Satellite server should show new hypervisors under Hosts > All Hosts, and subscriptions like RHEL for VDC should work when applied to guests of subscribed hypervisors.

Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2022-12-06 13:40:01 UTC
Note that there were issues in the Python library, suds, used to do SOAP communication with ESX; in RHEL 8, this was handled as bug 1921920 (bug 2051883).
