Description of problem: virt-who is using the 'name' field of the RHEV-produced xml inventory. Since that is a user-definable field, it causes issues when reporting back to Satellite 6.2 . Satellite 6.2 introduces strict hostname verification and then a FQDN should be provided by virt-who, as well as filter out underscore characters "_" . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-who 0.17-9.el7sat How reproducible: Always, as follows Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a RHEV hypervisor and set their name to "my_host_name". 2. Verify that virt-who uses that field instead of "address" XML field 3. Verify that virt-who fails to report to Satellite 6.2 as "my_host_name" fails strict validation. Actual results: virt-who Expected results: virt-who should report the 'address' field, which contains the DNS hostname of the hypervisor. Additional info: virt-who can be easily fixed by ammending the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtwho/virt/rhevm/rhevm.py : 146 elif self.config.hypervisor_id == 'hostname': 147 host_id = host.find('address').text ... 168 hosts[id] = virt.Hypervisor(hypervisorId=host_id, name=host.find('address').text, facts=facts)
We need to validate what versions of RHEV this is valid for.
*** Bug 1412862 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
hi Kevin, Just checked this is valid for 3.5 to 4.1. I'd say this is also valid in all RHEV 3.x series and given it'll EOL in September, we're won't be introducing any breaking change. Is there anything else required to fix this? Thanks!
The bug still exists with virt-who-0.21.0-1.el7.noarch against RHEVM4.1
