Description Tom McKay 2012-04-30 19:08:53 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #812417 +++

Description of problem:

See attached screenshot.  The system property "Arch" is empty for all RHEL5 i386 registered+subscribed systems.  All RHEL5 x86_64 show the expected value of "x86_64".  I have not confirmed whether RHEL6 i386 systems have a valid Arch property yet.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * katello-0.1.309-1.el6.src.rpm
 * katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.src.rpm
 * katello-certs-tools-1.0.4-1.el6.src.rpm
 * katello-cli-0.1.107-1.el6.src.rpm
 * katello-configure-0.1.107-1.el6.src.rpm
 * katello-qpid-broker-key-pair-1.0-1.src.rpm
 * katello-qpid-client-key-pair-1.0-1.src.rpm
 * katello-selinux-0.1.10-1.el6.src.rpm
 * pulp-1.0.4-1.el6.src.rpm


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register a RHEL5 i386 client to a System Engine
2. Navigate to the Systems list in the System Engine web-ui
3. Select the newly registered system and observe system properties
  
Actual results:

 * The system architecture is empty

Expected results:

 * The system architecture should not be empty

Additional info:

 * See attached screenshot

 * The subscription-manager client shows uname.machine as i386

> # subscription-manager facts --list | grep -i i.86
> uname.machine: i686

Update
 - This affects *all* RHEL i386 registered systems, RHEL5 and RHEL6.

--- Additional comment from jlaska on 2012-04-18 08:23:55 EDT ---

Anyone know how severe it is that registered i386 systems do not properly display their architecture in the system summary on Katello?

Is this just a minor UI issue, or is the lack of architecture data more fundamental.

== Additional data ==

 * I'm able to successfully find x86_64 systems by searching for 'system.machine:x86_64'.
 * I'm able to successfully find i386 systems by searching for 'system.machine:i686'

I have no idea if this is good/bad?  If this is just a UI quirk, this feels safe to move to 1.1.0.  Please advise.

--- Additional comment from tomckay on 2012-04-18 08:30:06 EDT ---

The info displayed comes from the system fact uname.machine passed through
{ 'i386' => 'x86', 'ia64' => 'Itanium', 'x86_64' => 'x86_64', 'ppc' => 'PowerPC',
      's390' => 'IBM S/390', 's390x' => 'IBM System z', 'sparc64' => 'SPARC Solaris' }

This is only a display issue, though it clearly is an issue in this case.

Thanks Tom, proposing for cloudforms-1.1.0 and 1.0.z.  This is not critical for the 1.0 release.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-04-30 19:34:09 UTC 
Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion
in the current release of Subscription Asset Manager (SAM). Unfortunately,
we are unable to address this request. Because we are in the final stages
of development in the current release, only significant, release-blocking
issues involving serious regressions and data corruption can be considered.

If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as defined and
communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative, please ask
your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the current release.
Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in the next release of SAM.

Note for testing: Register a system with the fact uname.machine i686 and confirm the arch shows up in UI. Note that system facts can be overridden manually by putting a file in /etc/rhsm/facts with the desired fact in json format:

echo '{"uname.machine": "i686"}' > /etc/rhsm/facts/uname.facts

Systems properties for registered system lists Arch with appropriate value

VERIFIED with the build :

[root@dhcp201-195 ~]# rpm -qa | grep katello
katello-cli-headpin-0.2.0-1.el6_2.noarch
katello-selinux-0.2.4-1.el6_2.noarch
katello-common-0.3.1-1.el6_2.noarch
katello-headpin-0.2.6-4.el6_2.noarch
katello-glue-candlepin-0.3.1-1.el6_2.noarch
katello-cli-common-0.3.2-3.el6_2.noarch
katello-headpin-all-0.2.6-4.el6_2.noarch
katello-configure-0.3.3-2.el6_2.noarch
katello-certs-tools-1.1.5-1.el6_2.noarch
katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.noarch


Modify the system property manually :
[root@tyan-gt24-12 rhsm]# echo '{"uname.machine":"i686"}' > /etc/rhsm/facts/uname.facts

List the modified system fact :
[root@tyan-gt24-12 rhsm]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep uname.machine
uname.machine: i686

Register the system :

[root@tyan-gt24-12 rhsm]# subscription-manager register --user admin --password admin --org ACME_Corporation --environment DEV --force
The system has been registered with id: b6794067-d9a1-4908-a8f6-e791028f8590 


The systems properties of registered system list Arch with appropriate value .
Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2017-06-26 20:37:36 UTC 
The release of Satellite 5.8 we are deprecating the support of Subscription Asset Manager. The release notes for 5.8 can be found at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/pdf/release_notes/Red_Hat_Satellite-5.8-Release_Notes-en-US.pdf.

I am therefore closing out this bug as WONTFIX. If you believe this to be an error, please feel free tor each out to either Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you!
