   VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
   VIRTWHO_VDSM=1
   VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=10

2. Restart service virt-who
   # service virt-who restart
   Stopping virt-who:                                         [  OK  ]
   Starting virt-who:                                         [  OK  ]

3. Restart vdsmd service
   # service vdsmd restart
   Shutting down vdsm daemon: 
   vdsm watchdog stop                                         [  OK  ]
   vdsm stop                                                  [  OK  ]
   vdsm: libvirt already configured for vdsm                  [  OK  ]
   Starting iscsid: 
   Starting up vdsm daemon: 
   vdsm start                                                 [  OK  ]

4. check the log file:
   # tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

Actual results:
2013-10-09 15:43:48,010 [ERROR]  @virt-who.py:184 - Unable to recover, retry in 10 seconds.
2013-10-09 15:43:58,020 [ERROR]  @virt-who.py:181 - Unable to create connection:

    self.trust_store_path = parser.get("vars", "trust_store_path")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/ConfigParser.py", line 541, in get
    raise NoOptionError(option, section)
NoOptionError: No option 'trust_store_path' in section: 'vars'

It hasn't sent the host/guest association to SAM server

Expected results:
virt-who should run normally under the VDSM mode, it should send the correct host/guest association to SAM server.

Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2013-10-09 10:47:50 UTC

You're missing 'trust_store_path' option in the 'vars' section of /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf file.

Virt-who is missing the check for this exception, I'll add it - it's easy fix.

Hi Radek, I found this bug has been suggested to move to RHEL 6.6.0, but it blocked our virt-who test in vdsm mode for now, if it can not be fixed in RHEL 6.5, RHEL 6.5 will not support vdsm mode, is it as expected? 
If it's possible, I suggest to fix it in RHEL 6.5, thanks.

Comment 4 Radek Novacek 2013-10-21 10:18:18 UTC

I think it is too late for 6.5 fix. You can workaround this issue quite easily by adding 'trust_store_path' option to the 'vars' section in the /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf file.

Got it, after adding "trust_store_path = /etc/pki/vdsm" to /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf, we can test vdsm mode now, thanks.

Comment 6 Radek Novacek 2014-06-02 09:50:32 UTC

This bug is fixed upstream and will be resolved by rebase of virt-who, see bug 1002640.

Though this bug is fixed in RHEL6.6, in RHEVH6.5 and this bug is still exist. And now we are testing RHEVH6.5 and this bug bothers us, What should we do to deal with this bug?
