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 of problem:
When virt-who run at vdsm mode, If there is a virtual machine under the host, virt-who won't send host/guest associate to SAM server as "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.13.8-1.el7.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.13.7-1.el7.x86_64
virt-who-0.11-3.el7.noarch
vdsm-4.16.7.5-1.el7ev.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Preconditon: Make sure there is a guest in the host 
1. In the rhevh host, Set the virt-who parameters in file /etc/sysconfig/virt-who to make virt-who working in VDSM mode:
   VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
   VIRTWHO_VDSM=1
   VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=5
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:
Virt-who failed to send host/guest associate to SAM server as it's failed to communiate with subscription-manager
2014-11-26 15:29:55,179 [INFO]  @virtwho.py:458 - Using commandline or sysconfig configuration ("vdsm" mode)

2014-11-26 15:29:55,398 [ERROR]  @virtwho.py:134 - Error in communication with subscription manager, trying to recover:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py", line 126, in _send
    self._sendGuests(virt, virtualGuests)
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py", line 152, in _sendGuests
    manager.sendVirtGuests(virtualGuests)
  File "/usr/share/virt-who/manager/subscriptionmanager/subscriptionmanager.py", line 104, in sendVirtGuests
    domains.sort(key=key)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Expected results:
virt-who should send host/guest associate to SAM server successfully.

If there isn't vm in the host, it hasn't this problem
