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.

A consultant encountered some issues when he was working with a customer to upgrade their environment from 6.0 to 6.1. For their virtual instances, they had some issues when upgrading virt-who:

* There is no virt-who upgrade information. 

* How does virt-who handle passwords with special characters during upgrade?

* If hypervisor UUIDs are converted to hostnames, Satellite treats them as new hypervisors and it requires that any subscriptions be reassigned and  old entries to be deleted manually.
    --> Is changing from a UUID to a hostname/FQDN as the identifier even supported?

Assigning to Russell for review.

Russell - the Virtual Instances Guide since gained a note about changing from UUID to host name, and as per our conversation on IRC, it looks like the main work now is to call out that virt-who is an RPM upgrade that doesn't really require any special steps in the Upgrade Guide.
