Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 robert.redhat 2013-08-26 20:59:11 UTC 
While attempting to use a subscription (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Premium (1-2 sockets) (Unlimited guests)) in an ESXi environment, it seems virt-who is creating hypervisor accounts instead of the guests in katello.

vsphere.py has applied the changes from https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-who.git/commit/?id=543ba2d983c8588b568664237488d16401253b58

virt-who is running on the katello server which is registered to itself using subscription-manager.
Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2013-08-27 06:58:11 UTC 
virt-who doesn't create any accounts, it merely reports association between virtualization hosts and their guests.
Comment 2 robert.redhat 2013-08-27 12:24:23 UTC 
Perhaps you can answer something for me about how I should be using virt-who, then. It has obviously picked up several hosts, but when I register another server to Katello it doesn't find the host that the server is on. It recognizes that the system is a guest, but can't find the host.

Is this because I'm using ESXi?

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2013-08-27 12:40:49 UTC 
It might be bug in virt-who. Could you check logs in /var/lib/rhsm.log if the host-guest association is obtained correctly (or attach the log file here or send it to me to rnovacek (at) redhat (dot) com). You might need to set VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1 in /etc/sysconfig/virt-who.

rhsm.log

This log starts at the point where I was able to get virt-who to connect to vcenter.
Comment 5 Radek Novacek 2013-08-27 14:37:10 UTC 
The log is quite silent about virt-who, could you enable the debug mode as I suggested in comment #3.

Comment 7 Radek Novacek 2013-08-28 14:38:33 UTC 
It seems that you're facing bug 1002058. When there is a lot of virtual guests (more than 100), virt-who fails to report their UUIDs correctly.
Comment 8 robert.redhat 2013-08-28 19:37:01 UTC 
I installed the latest version from git repo (as of about 3PM EST), however I now get errors in rhsm.log (attached)

Comment 10 robert.redhat 2013-09-05 18:02:30 UTC 
This can be closed, by the way. The version of virt-who from 2013-08-30 has solved this.

See comment 9.
