Description of problem: When it hasn't configure rhsm_proxy_port in /etc/virt-who.d/XXX, virt-who won't check rhsm_proxy_hostname. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite6.2.7 virt-who-0.17-10.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure virt-who with a wrong proxy in /etc/virt-who.d/xxx [root@hp-z220-05 virt-who.d]# cat /etc/virt-who.d/hyperv [test-hyperv1] type=hyperv server=10.73.5.227 username=administrator password="Welcome*&$001" owner=org1 env=Library rhsm_username=admin rhsm_encrypted_password=7cb1ad2bcbd186c9d9cb6a391361e6ea rhsm_hostname=hp-bl460cg5-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com rhsm_port=443 rhsm_prefix=/rhsm rhsm_proxy_hostname=aaaa ===> It's wrong 2. Restart virt-who and check virt-who's log [root@hp-z220-05 virt-who.d]# service virt-who restart && tail -f /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log Actual results: Virt-who can send mapping info to satellite server successfully, it hasn't check rhsm_proxy_hostname. Expected results: As it's a wrong rhsm_proxy_hostname, virt-who shouldn't send mapping info to satellite server, it should show error info to remind " Name or service not known" Additional info: If configure rhsm_proxy_hostname and rhsm_proxy_host in /etc/virt-who.d/xxx, it can show error info as the following: "gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known"
This is a result of the implementation of the UEPConnection in python-rhsm used by virt-who to communicate with Satellite (as well as hosted). I do not believe this is a bug. As such I am closing this. If there is disagreement, please reopen the bug with details as to why this is actually a bug.
I think it still is a bug since it should has a default "rhsm_proxy_port" if "rhsm_proxy_port" hasn't be set. Actually, we can compare a similar pair of configure "rhsm_hostname and rhsm_port". 1. If it hasn't set "rhsm_port", configure wrong "rhsm_hostname", it will show error info "Name or service not known" since it should has a default "rhsm_port=443", it's the correct behavior. 2. If it hasn't set "rhsm_port", configure correct "rhsm_hostname", it will send mapping info to server,it's the correct behavior. So I expect the "rhsm_proxy_port and rhsm_proxy_hostname" should have the same behavior as "rhsm_hostname and rhsm_port". Therefore, I reopen it. Thanks.
