Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description John Sefler 2016-02-22 19:27:13 UTC
Description of problem:
As we learned in bug 1300816, a "pSeries" ppc64 platform should be regarded as a guest system and therefore have a non-Unknown virt.uuid fact.

An automated test was assembled to assert this test, but it failed on the ppc64 system shown below...

ssh root.eng.bos.redhat.com subscription-manager facts --list | grep --text "proc_cpuinfo.common"
proc_cpuinfo.common.machine: CHRP IBM,8247-22L
proc_cpuinfo.common.model: IBM,8247-22L
proc_cpuinfo.common.platform: pSeries

ssh root.eng.bos.redhat.com subscription-manager facts --list | grep --text "virt.uuid"
virt.uuid: Unknown                <=====  EXPECTED A REAL UUID


The ppc64 machine reserved for this test was: 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.16.8-2.el6.ppc64
python-rhsm-1.16.6-1.el6.ppc64

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2017-12-06 11:46:54 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:
