Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

RHEL 7 is missing from the 'Guest OS' dropdown menu

Description of problem:
-----------------------------------------
Satellite 6 doesn't have a dropdown tab for RHEL 7 when using VMware ESXi as Compute Node, however the customer's VMware virtualization environment has RHEL 7 profiles. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-----------------------------------------
6.0.6

How reproducible:
-----------------------------------------
easily reproducible 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add VMware as a Compute Resource
2. Attempt to provision a New Host using VMware as the Compute Resource and the dropdown 'Guest OS' menu does not display RHEL 7 as an option, however the customer has RHEL 7 available in VMware as a profile.

Actual results:
-----------------------------------------
RHEL 7 is missing from the 'Guest OS' dropdown menu when creating a new host on satellite 6.


Expected results:
-----------------------------------------
RHEL 7 is available in the 'Guest OS' dropdown menu when creating a new host on satellite 6.


Additional info:
-----------------------------------------

Guest OS missing for VMware Compute Resource
Comment 4 Dominic Cleal 2014-12-05 16:38:00 UTC 
What vSphere or ESXi environment precisely is configured as the compute resource?

Note that Satellite 6 does not currently support standalone ESXi servers (bug #1142861).
Comment 5 Aaron Thomas 2014-12-08 22:27:26 UTC 
vCenter is configured as the compute resource, the configuration is not a standalone ESXi host.
Comment 6 Dominic Cleal 2014-12-09 08:18:52 UTC 
(In reply to Aaron Thomas from comment #5)
> vCenter is configured as the compute resource, the configuration is not a
> standalone ESXi host.

Which version of vSphere, and which versions are the ESX hosts?
Comment 7 Dominic Cleal 2014-12-10 08:39:43 UTC 
Corey, you're able to reproduce this?

Setting needinfo, as we still need versions.
Comment 9 gaoshang 2015-05-07 06:05:01 UTC 
This bug still failed when testing against Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-7-20150429.2, please check attached snapshot, thanks!

rhel 7 option missed
Comment 11 Shlomi Zadok 2015-06-15 11:43:25 UTC 
Digging into this a bit more...
It seems that the list comes from rbvmomi gem.
Satellite 61 rbvmomi version is 1.6 - 
Upstream 1.8+ uses rbvmomi ~> 1.8
(latest rbvmomi is 1.8.2)

The data on guest oses is coming from rbvmomi file: vmodl.db
I vote for updating to 1.8.2
Comment 14 Magnus Glantz 2015-06-17 09:48:39 UTC 
We are hitting this as well. VSphere 5.1 and Sat 6.0 (ruby193-rubygem-rbvmomi-1.6.0-3.el6sat.noarch).

Comment 18 gaoshang 2015-07-14 01:19:30 UTC 
I have verified this bug against Sat6.1.0-GA-SNAP12(Satellite-6.1.0-RHEL-7-20150707.4), but still failed.

According to Comment 15, after replaced vmodl.db, RHEL 7 can be shown in "Guest OS":

wget https://github.com/vmware/rbvmomi/blob/master/vmodl.db?raw=true -O vmodl.db
Comment 20 Shlomi Zadok 2015-08-23 08:38:51 UTC 
Is is accurate
Comment 25 Bryan Kearney 2017-03-27 16:50:31 UTC 
We do not plan on fixing this for Satellite 6.1. I am closing this out as WONTFIX. If you feel this was done in error, please feel free to re-open with additional information. This is fixed in 6.2.
