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 RHBA-2016:0797 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE python-rhsm and subscription-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2017-01-06 16:31:50 UTC

Description Adrian Likins 2016-01-21 18:38:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
virt.uuid is only collected from DMI, which isn't available on ppc64.

The info is available in /proc/device-tree/vm,uuid, so it could
be collected from there.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a ppc64 kvm guest...
2. subscription-manager facts --list | grep virt.uuid

Actual results:
No virt.uuid

Expected results:
virt.uuid is the same as contents of /proc/device-tree/vm,uuid

This makes VDC and virt bound subscriptions difficult on ppc64 systems.
Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2016-01-21 19:05:15 UTC 
pr for upstream at https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/1376
Comment 3 Chris Snyder 2016-01-27 18:23:54 UTC 
The fix has been merged into upstream master as of the below information:

commit f8416137a3b426aa54608116e005df7273abfada
Author: Adrian Likins <alikins>
Date:   Wed Jan 20 16:59:03 2016 -0500

    1300805: Add support for ppc64 virt.uuid
    
    For ppc64 guests running under KVM, the virt.uuid
    is available from '/proc/device-tree/vm,uuid' so
    collect it from there.
    
    Also update scripts/test_hwprobe.sh to DWIM.

Reproducing the failure with old subscription-manager packages 
--------

[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# cat /proc/device-tree/vm,uuid

[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# 
[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep virt.uuid

[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# subscription-manager version

After updating the subscription-manager packages
----------------------------------------------
[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# subscription-manager version

4100372a-b35e-4f0e-9b51-3c58a630218f

[root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-03 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep -a "virt.uuid"
virt.uuid: 4100372a-b35e-4f0e-9b51-3c58a630218f

Observed that virt-uuid on the facts list , displayed the same details as in 
/proc/device-tree/vm,uuid

Marking Verified!!!
