Description of problem: On some of the RHEL7.4 supported arches (aarch64, ppc64le, ppc64, s390x) (but NOT x86_64) dmidecode warnings like the following are being printed to stderr for many subscription-manager calls. ** COLLECTED WARNINGS ** /sys/firmware/efi/systab: SMBIOS entry point missing No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry. ** END OF WARNINGS ** This is a regression from subscription-manager-1.17 behavior on RHEL7.3 and is causing many automated test failures due to the unexpected stderr messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@hp-moonshot-03-c36 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager python-rhsm subscription-manager-1.19.4-1.el7.aarch64 python-rhsm-1.19.2-1.el7.aarch64 [root@hp-moonshot-03-c36 ~]# rpm -qa | grep dmidecode python-dmidecode-3.12.2-1.el7.aarch64 dmidecode-3.0-4.el7.aarch64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: Use Beaker to reserve a RHEL74 aarch64, ppc64le, ppc64, s390x system, then run a subscription-manager command (e.g. subscription-manager version) and you will see unexpected warnings print to stderr... HERE'S A FAILURE ON aarch64 [root@hp-moonshot-03-c36 ~]# uname -m aarch64 [root@hp-moonshot-03-c36 ~]# subscription-manager version server type: This system is currently not registered. subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1 subscription management rules: 5.15.1 subscription-manager: 1.19.4-1.el7 python-rhsm: 1.19.2-1.el7 ** COLLECTED WARNINGS ** /sys/firmware/efi/systab: SMBIOS entry point missing No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry. ** END OF WARNINGS ** [root@hp-moonshot-03-c36 ~]# HERE'S A FAILURE ON ppc64le [root@ibm-p8-05-lp2 ~]# uname -m ppc64le [root@ibm-p8-05-lp2 ~]# subscription-manager version server type: This system is currently not registered. subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1 subscription management rules: 5.15.1 subscription-manager: 1.19.4-1.el7 python-rhsm: 1.19.2-1.el7 ** COLLECTED WARNINGS ** /dev/mem (mmap): Operation not permitted No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry. ** END OF WARNINGS ** [root@ibm-p8-05-lp2 ~]# Actual results: above Expected results: should not print list of ** COLLECTED WARNINGS ** / ** END OF WARNINGS ** Additional info: Preliminary troubleshooting indicates that subscription-manager's dmiinfo code previously called dmidecode.clear_warnings() which probably suppressed printing of the COLLECTED WARNINGS. These recent dbus pull requests are likely candidates that introduced this regression in behavior... https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/1509 https://github.com/candlepin/subscription-manager/pull/1543
Note: Despite the unexpected list of COLLECTED WARNINGS being printed to stderr, the subscription-manager modules are functioning well. A consumer can still register and attach subscriptions.

First fix attempt was insufficient, please retest against the latest build (subscription-manager-1.19.9-1).
This issue was resolved in automated testruns for all arches of RHEL-7.4-Alpha-1.0 compose RHEL-7.4-20170421.1 with subscription-manager-1.19.9-1.el7 Moving to VERIFIED
