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.

Currently virt-who uses xmlrpc to talk to vdsm. This protocol is deprecated and it is about to be removed. Please migrate to new jsonrpc.

Piotr, when will the XMLRPC API stop working? Is there a documentation of the new jsonrpc API? Or at least some existing code to start with? Thanks.

We do not have any date specified yet. At the moment we are migrating our code base to jsonrpc. Hopefully it will be done as part of 4.1 release.

You can find an example of the change here [1]. The code creates jsonrpc client to migrate vms if it fails it falls back to xmlrpc.

Do you have any update regarding when the XMLRPC api will stop working?

Thank you for the link to the updated client.

Cheers,
Chris

It was removed few weeks ago and will be released as part of 4.2.

The new client is already available since 4.1 (released already).

RHV 4.2 and RHEL 7.5 releases are very close to each other, so RHV 4.2 will need to support both RHEL 7.5 and 7.4.z

Fixed in RHEL 7.5 - virt-who-0.21.5-1.el7.
