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.

Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2015-04-02 15:29:35 UTC
Fixed in virt-who-0.12-3.el6.

Comment 4 Liushihui 2015-04-17 05:55:34 UTC
Verify it on virt-who-0.12-5.el6.noarch 

Verified version:
subscription-manager-1.14.5-1.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.14.2-1.el6.x86_64
virt-who-0.12-5.el6.noarch
candlepin-0.9.6.5-1.el6sam.noarch
katello-headpin-1.4.3.28-1.el6sam_splice.noarch

Verified process:
1. Register rhel to sam server, then configure virt-who run at rhevm and esx mode as the following:
[root@hp-z220-06 virt-who.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/virt-who
VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=2
VIRTWHO_RHEVM_OWNER=ACME_Corporation
VIRTWHO_RHEVM_ENV=Library
VIRTWHO_RHEVM_SERVER=https://10.66.79.77:443
VIRTWHO_RHEVM_USERNAME=admin@internal
VIRTWHO_RHEVM_PASSWORD=redhat

[root@hp-z220-06 virt-who.d]# cat /etc/virt-who.d/virt-who
[test-esx1]
type=esx
server=10.66.78.75
username=Administrator
#password=qwer1234P!
encrypted_password=43f282d679adb816f2bb1cf9c18949ec
owner=ACME_Corporation
env=Library

2. Restart virt-who service, then check the virt-who's log.
[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# service virt-who restart
Stopping virt-who:                                         [  OK  ]
Starting virt-who:                                         [  OK  ]
2015-04-17 13:52:11,135 [DEBUG]  @virtwho.py:88 - Using config named 'test-esx1'

2015-04-17 13:52:11,470 [INFO]  @subscriptionmanager.py:124 - Sending update in hosts-to-guests mapping: {'cb70a094-6ab8-4c15-8f52-d557f4f7ef83': [], '7691fd80-6f02-45e5-a83c-d38e01cfcbf7': ['9e73efbb-fbee-4212-8b2b-b81dedf061e9', '2d78eb42-d66b-46a6-a52c-c43eb9fb8af8']}

3. Check the virt-who's status
[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# service virt-who status
virt-who (pid  19144) is running...
[root@hp-z220-05 ~]# ps -ef|grep virt-who
root     19144     1  1 13:52 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py
root     19150 19144  0 13:52 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/virt-who/virtwho.py
root     19184 11424  0 13:53 pts/1    00:00:00 grep virt-who

Result: 
Although encrypted_password isn't exist, it only block to send out the esx's host/guest mapping, virt-who still run normally, therefore, verify it.
