Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Assigning to Misa for review.

Misa - what we need to do is add a section to the Virtual Instances Guide similar to the others like 'Configuring virt-who to Connect to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor' that covers the steps for KVM.

See the above article for the details.

Hello Harshad,


I have reviewed your request and suggest closing this bug. There is no need to change the 6.3 documentation [1] as the new plugin takes care of the virt-who configuration. As to 6.2, the virt-who configuration for a KVM host is documented here [2]. 

I want to make sure that I understood your request and that you are satisfied with the decision to close the bug before actually doing so.


Thank you!

--------------------------

Hello Michaela,

You can go-ahead and close this Bugzilla since the virt-who configuration for a KVM host is documented here [2]. 

regarding There is no need to change the 6.3 documentation

I am not fully convinced that this shouldn't be included in 6.3 Virtual Instance guide since already documented in hammer guide.

But from the customer perspective (who worked on 6.2 and earlier) when I go to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.3/ I see separate Virtual Instances Guide and this doesn't cover the steps.

So we should mention the steps in 6.3 guide or should provide some link to refer Hammer CLI Guide. However I have already created new Bugzilla for the same.
