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

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

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.

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.
