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.

Bug 1179766 has 4 questions, two refer to virt-who changes and two refer to adding virt-who benefits to the Satellite 6.1 Release notes. I'm splitting this bug into two bugs:

Bug 1179766 addresses the two virt-who changes.
This new bug addresses the two release note additions, as follows:
2. virt-who is no longer required to run on subscription-manager registered system
4. vmware performance improved
(numbering from original bug 1179766): 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179766

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

Assigning to DavidO to include in the release notes.

So for rel notes, are the benefits just:
1. virt-who is no longer required to run on subscription-manager registered system

and

2. vmware performance improved

Is there some sort of elaboration we'd like to include? I haven't worked with virt-who at all.

thanks

You can just expand on the above:

1. virt-who is no longer required to run on subscription-manager registered system and just needs to be configured to communicate with the Satellite via the configuration file.

2. We have improved the performance of virt-who in interacting with VMWare for polling and inventory operations.
