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 2015-09-29 11:14:20 UTC
This issue has been addressed upstream and will be part of rebased virt-who package.

Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2015-12-17 12:28:52 UTC
Fixed by rebase to virt-who-0.16-1.el6.

Comment 5 Liushihui 2016-02-23 08:01:44 UTC
Verified it on virt-who-0.16-4.el6.noarch since virt-who can report guest's attribute and state on all supported hypervisors. Therefore, verify it.

Verified version:
subscription-manager-1.16.8-2.el6.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.16.6-1.el6.x86_64
virt-who-0.16-3.el6.noarch

Verified process:
1. Register to Satellite
2. Configure virt-who run at libvirt mode.restart virt-who service and track virt-who's log,it can show guest's state on the log.
