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.

2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account name : Nasa - Msfc
Account # : 1086728


TAM customer: No


SRM customer: No

3. What is the nature and description of the request?

The Sales Team is not involved.



10. List any affected packages or components.
subscription-manager, subscription-manager-gui



11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Comment 9 Rehana 2017-11-10 09:15:12 UTC 
Verifying on RHEL75 with following build:
=======================================
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-gui-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-rhsm-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-plugin-container-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64

1) Verifying the system's hostname is used to report "The registered system name"

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname --fqdn
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com


[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register 
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
Username: admin
Password: 
Organization: admin
The system has been registered with ID: 5cec7b0d-ba5d-4b9e-9cf9-4e9924f2a6f2
The registered system name is: dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

^^ observed that hostname matches "the registered system name "

2) Verifying that even with overrid'ed hostname facts value, subscription-manager register continues to use the system hostname 


[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# cat /etc/rhsm/facts/hostname.facts
{"network.hostname":"testing-an-overridden-hostname-fact.redhat.com"}

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep hostname
network.hostname: testing-an-overridden-hostname-fact.redhat.com

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin --org=admin
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
The system has been registered with ID: 5966712c-c04d-4df0-8a66-59825d0d502f
The registered system name is: dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

^^ observed that hostname continues to match "the registered system name "

3)Verify that when "--name" value given during registration , the provided name will be written to the terminal instead of hostname

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=admin --org=admin --name=Verify1463325
Registering to: F21-candlepin.usersys.redhat.com:8443/candlepin
The system has been registered with ID: 170f57d9-855c-4d78-bd00-f683bc8f6e7c
The registered system name is: Verify1463325 --> matches the value provided in the register command 

[root@dhcp35-157 ~]# hostname
dhcp35-157.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com

Based on the above observations , marking the bug as "Verified"
