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).

Description Rehana 2014-05-15 05:47:52 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1095597 +++

Description of problem:

Observed that with the virt-who-0.9-1.el5 version, guest attributes are not getting reported on rhel5.11 server, due to this the host(having subscription with guest-limit 4) is not reporting the compliance status to yellow when more no.of guest are running on the host 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qa | grep virt-who
virt-who-0.9-1.el5

[root@jsefler-7server ~]# rpm -q virt-who --changelog | grep guest -B1
* Fri Jan 10 2014 Radek Novacek <rnovacek> 0.8-12


How reproducible:
3/3

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Register and attach guest-limit subscription to host
2.Create guest machines on the host and restart virt-who service
3.Verify the guest attributes using the guest id

Actual results:

Expected results:
guest attributes should be present
ex:with virt-who-0.8-12.el7.noarch, guest attributes are getting reported on rhel7

--- Additional comment from Radek Novacek on 2014-05-09 02:18:26 EDT ---

Could you please put virt-who to debug mode (set VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1 in /etc/sysconfig/virt-who), reproduce the bug and then attach the log (/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log) here? Thank you.

Due to the bug #1095860 against stage server, i couldn't retest against stage; so i have used to my local candlepin set up to retest, hope this helps.

--- Additional comment from Radek Novacek on 2014-05-09 03:09:38 EDT ---

Thank you.

There was one patch missing in the upstream master branch of virt-who that is in the RHEL-7 branch. Fixed by upstream commit:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-who.git/commit/?id=ee127e3a7c4281776f84c2a09229b73be54cd054

Would like to see virt-who support for guest-limit attribute in rhel6.6 as well.
Comment 1 Radek Novacek 2014-05-16 07:38:10 UTC 
This feature needs to be also backported to 6.5.z, it's required for Guest Counting feature of SAM 1.4.
Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2014-06-18 13:48:49 UTC 
This bug is fixed by rebase to virt-who-0.10-1.el6.
Comment 4 Shwetha Kallesh 2014-06-23 11:42:53 UTC 
Virt-who is reporting guest attributes,so marking verified!!

Cleaning up old bugs. These were verified but never closed.
