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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2016:0859 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-who bug fix and enhancement update 2016-05-10 22:44:47 UTC

Description Chris Roberts 2015-08-04 07:39:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is a lot of user sessions within vsphere. We are provisioning VMs with kickstart (Satellite 6.0.8).  In our experience, the provisioning does not completely succeed if a VM does not have a proper entitlements hence the regular updates. If the entitlements are not properly assigned to a VM through the mapping of ESX/VDC-Licence<->VM, the required channels are not available to install puppet.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.12,
virt-who-0.13



Actual results:
multiple virt-who session running


Expected results:
one virt-who session per user session.

Additional info:
ESXi 5.5.0 Build 2068190, 
  VCenter 5.5 build 2442329,
  Satellite 6.0.8
Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2015-12-17 12:30:03 UTC 
Fixed by rebase to virt-who-0.16-1.el6.
Comment 4 Liushihui 2016-03-30 05:51:20 UTC 
Reopen it on virt-who-0.16-7.el6.noarch since UserSession can't decrease to previous number when virt-who is stopped. Therefore, reopen it.

Checked version:
virt-who-0.16-7.el6.noarch 
subscription-manager-1.16.8-7.el6.x86_64 
python-rhsm-1.16.6-1.el6.x86_64

Checked process:
1. Register system to satellite
2. Open https://[vcenterip]/mob/?moid=SessionManager, it will show nine usersession, please see before_start.jpeg in attachment.

3. Configure virt-who run at esx mode and restart virt-who service.
4. Open https://[vcenterip]/mob/?moid=SessionManager, it will show ten usersession.please see after_start.jpeg in attachment.

5. Stop virt-who service, then open https://[vcenterip]/mob/?moid=SessionManager, it still show ten UserSession as before.
[root@dell-pesc440-01 virt-who.d]# service virt-who stop
Stopping virt-who: [  OK  ]
[root@dell-pesc440-01 virt-who.d]# service virt-who status

[root@dell-pesc440-01 virt-who.d]# ps -ef|grep virt-who
root     10210  3919  0 01:48 pts/1    00:00:00 grep virt-who

The fix for this issue is already applied upstream:
