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.

Description John Sefler 2017-03-31 20:54:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
Prior to pull request https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/1509, the virt facts collection for 'virt.host_type's (reported by virt-what) that contained either "ibm_systemz" or "powervm" where exceptional cases that STOPPED collection for 'virt.uuid' despite the true value for virt.is_guest.

Note: The special case behavior for virt.host_type "xen-dom0" remains unchanged.

This is a regression in behavior.

Actual results:
 above

Expected results:

Additional info:
 testing demonstrated above was actually conducted on an x86_64 KVM guest
Comment 3 Chris Snyder 2017-04-06 13:53:59 UTC 
Out of curiosity, have you tried these cases against systems matching the arch and virtualization platforms mentioned in beaker?
Comment 4 Chris Snyder 2017-04-06 16:08:28 UTC 
It turns out I did not need the answer to the question in comment 3 to solve this bug. Cancelling needinfo.

I've attached a PR including a fix for this.
