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.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register system to SAM server
2. Make virt-who run at esx mode, configure as the following:
# vim /etc/sysconfig/virt-who
VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1

[root@hp-z220-06 ~]# service virt-who status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  virt-who.service

4. Stop/restart virt-who service 
[root@hp-z220-06 ~]# service virt-who restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  virt-who.service
[root@hp-z220-06 ~]# ps -ef|grep virt-who
root      5837     1 48 14:13 ?        00:00:28 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py
root      5842  5402  0 14:13 pts/0    00:00:00 /bin/systemctl restart virt-who.service
root      5867  5583  0 14:14 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --color=auto virt-who

Actual results:
virt-who can't stop/restart until over one minute.

Expected results:
virt-who should be stop/restart normally.

Additional info:
when virt-who run at libvirtd mode, it hasn't this problem.

Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2014-11-28 09:35:11 UTC
virt-who service usually stops very fast (~0.2s), but when some long term operation is running (for example communication with ESX) it waits for completion of the operation. Systemd by default limits the shutdown of the service to 90 seconds. 

I will add a limit of the service shutdown to just 5 seconds.

Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2014-11-28 11:20:13 UTC
Fixed in virt-who-0.11-5.el7.

Comment 5 Liushihui 2014-12-23 06:20:59 UTC
Verified it on virt-who-0.11-5.el7.noarch
