Description of problem: On ppc64 systems running as LPAR guests under PowerVM, the identifier for the host system is available in /proc/device-tree/system-id. The format is a text file, one line, with the IBM system id for the host as the content. A made up example: "IBM,034242DADA" Subscription-manager should collect that fact. Fact name/namespace to be determined, but something like 'virt.host_system_id' This could potentially be used in lieu of requiring virt-who to run against IBM lpar/virt management tools. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions. Steps to Reproduce: 1. log into ppc64 lpar 2. subscription-manager facts --list | grep system_id
