Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/virtual-instances-guide/ Section Number and Name: 5.5. CONFIGURING VIRT-WHO TO CONNECT TO VMWARE VCENTER Describe the issue: - Account name by which virt-who is to connect to the hypervisor. If a Microsoft Windows domain account is being used, the format for the username option must be domain_name\\account_name. Note the use of two backslashes. For the username, it says to use username=corporate\\svc-virt-who but that does not work in the /etc/virt-who.d/* configs. The double backslash is for the /etc/sysconfig/virt-who file. The virt-who.d configs should be a single backslash. This is mentioned in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1270223 and https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1424003 Suggestions for improvement: Format should be: username=corporate\svc-virt-who Additional information:
Section 5.2 Virt-who Configuration Files mentions /etc/sysconfig/virt-who, but does not mention `username` Russell wanted to make another improvement using UPN format name. I will assign to Russell. By the way, I see typo: and and
Setting release flags.
As the changes for this BZ ticket are complete, and the updated Virtual Instances Guide published to the Customer Portal [1], I have closed this BZ ticket. The convention for KBase links is being discussed elsewhere.
