Description of problem: I believe this issue is a consequence of the work introduced by bug 1072524. Likely this bug should be against component virt-what. Automated tests are reserving ppc64le systems from Beaker https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com Frequently, the system reserved by Beaker will grant a system that has facts indicative of a virtual guest, but virt-what does not recognize it as a guest, consequently the virt.is_guest fact ends up false while other facts are indicative of a virtual guest. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager python-rhsm virt-what subscription-manager-1.17.10-1.el7.ppc64le python-rhsm-1.17.6-1.el7.ppc64le virt-what-1.13-8.el7.ppc64le How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: [root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07 ~]# hostname ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com [root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07 ~]# virt-what [root@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07 ~]# When virt-what returns an empty string as occurred on system ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-07.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com, the lack of a value indicates to subscription-manager that the system is physical and the system facts will include "virt.is_guest":"False". However, if we curiously review other facts collected on this system, then it appears to be a virtual guest rather than a physical host...

There is no consistent way to get a machine UUID at this time. Moving to RHEL 8.
