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-2016:2387 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-who bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 13:53:39 UTC

Description Liushihui 2016-08-04 05:35:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When virt-who run at xen mode, disable "env"/"owner" or set "env"/"owner" to null in /etc/virt-who.d/xxxx, virt-who still can be started.

If I disable VIRTWHO_XEN_ENV/VIRTWHO_XEN_OWNER in /etc/sysconfig/virt-who, virt-who started failed and feedback with error info "virt-who can't be started: Option --xen-env (or VIRTWHO_XEN_ENV environment variable) needs to be set"

If I run virt-who CLI without "--xen-env/--xen-owner" option,  virt-who started failed and feedback with error info as before.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.17-7.el7.noarch
subscription-manager-1.17.9-1.el7.x86_64
python-rhsm-1.17.5-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the config fie in /etc/virt-who.d, make sure without env/owner option
[root@hp-z220-08 ~]# cat /etc/virt-who.d/xen
[xen]
type=xen
server=10.73.5.210
username=root
password=Welcome1
owner=ACME_Corporation

2. restart virt-who service and check virt-who's log
[root@hp-z220-08 ~]# service virt-who restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  virt-who.service
[root@hp-z220-08 ~]# service virt-who status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  virt-who.service
[root@hp-z220-08 ~]# tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log

Actual results:
Although virt-who will show error in log, virt-who can start normally.

Expected results:
Virt-who shouldn't be started when it with null env/owner. And the error info should the same as the following:
[root@hp-z220-08 ~]# service virt-who restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  virt-who.service
Job for virt-who.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status virt-who.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Additional info:
When virt-who run at rhevm, esx and hyperv mode ,it hasn't this problem.

Comment 5 Liushihui 2016-08-29 03:57:36 UTC
Verified it on virt-who-0.17-10.el7.noarch since virt-who has been checked none env and owner and report error info . Therefore, verify it.
