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 gaoshang 2013-08-29 10:04:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since we added Satellite surpport to virt-who, virt-who command line changed respectively, we should prompt user who is customed with old command:
virt-who --esx --esx-owner=ACME_Corporation --esx-env=Library --esx-server=10.66.79.4 --esx-username=administrator --esx-password=qwer1234P --sam -i 5 -d

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep virt-who
virt-who-0.8-8.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run following virt-who command line
virt-who --esx --esx-owner=ACME_Corporation --esx-env=Library --esx-server=10.66.79.4 --esx-username=administrator --esx-password=qwer1234P -i 3 -d

Actual results:
    [root@gg-rhel6 virt-who]#  virt-who --esx --esx-owner=ACME_Corporation --esx-env=env1 --esx-server=10.66.79.4 --esx-username=administrator --esx-password=qwer1234P -i 3 -d

Expected results:
virt-who should prompt user to add "--satellite" or "--sam" parameter

Additional info:
Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2013-08-29 10:08:42 UTC 
This has been fixed in virt-who-0.8-9. virt-who now assumes that user wants to report to SAM. This needs to be there for backward compatibility. User that will upgrade from previous versions of virt-who must not need to change something in the configuration file.
Comment 3 gaoshang 2013-08-30 04:08:31 UTC 
This bug has been fixed in virt-who-0.8-9, SAM will be the default option if not specified "--satellite" or "--sam".
