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.

Description of problem:
When trying to associate a vmware VM the following is hit:

Error: No host found to associate this VM with

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.12-6

Additional info:
Resolution:
In vi /usr/share/foreman/app/models/compute_resources/foreman/model/vmware.rb change:

From this:
454-    def associated_host(vm)
455:      associate_by("mac", vm.mac)
456-    end

To this:
454-    def associated_host(vm)
455:      associate_by('mac', vm.interfaces.map(&:mac).map { |mac| Net::Validations.normalize_mac(mac) })
456-    end

It looks like this line would need to be changed for all other compute resource options as well.

So far this change works just fine for vmware and libvirt compute resources, from tests done internally and by the customer.
