Bug 526371

This BZ requires code change on the client side, so that the RHEL host in this situation correctly dentifies itself and its guests to RHN.  Rerouting to Satellite, since that's where the client tools live.

Re-assigning to Pradeep per kwirth's request.  Pradeep - will sync up with you in the morning on this.

lol.. this is not as critical as I thought
It appears the rhn-virtualization-guest service was not actually running on the guest.  We should die more gracefully.

However once the service is running on the guest, the rhn-profile-sync command runs successfully.  

The guest now shows up in rhn satellite
The correct number of entitlements can are displayed.  The guest is no longer consuming an entitlement

one note here..
libvirtd and vdsm can not be running at the same time for this fix to work.
If libvirtd is running vdsm guests will NOT be reported to satellite or hosted

using the satellite virt guest controls will not work which is also ok..
no exceptions are thrown when using them..

A screenshot of a node running vdsm, with one guest.
You can see that the guest is correctly NOT consuming entitlements

Stephen Herr has completed his testing for RHN Hosted and confirms the fix is working and ready to ship

fix has been regression tested against rhel 5.3 w/ xen

All of QE's tests are now complete..
