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.
Unable to associate VM when the MAC address in the VM in vCenter is mentioned in LOWERCASE while the MAC address of the host on Satellite is in UPPERCASE.

Description of problem:
1. Getting error 'No host found to associate this VM with' while associating the host with compute resource on Red Hat Satellite 6.
2. Case sensitivity in the MAC address results in to failure while associating VM with compute resource.
3. Even if a single letter in the MAC address is mentioned in lower case (or vice versa) the VM fails to associate with compute resource. The MAC address has to be the same (either UPPERCASE or LOWERCASE) in the VM and the compute resource.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.4
How reproducible: Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disassociate an associated VM from Red Hat Satellite. On this Satellite the host consist of MAC address mentioned in LOWERCASE.
2. On vCenter, change the same MAC address of the host to UPPERCASE.
3. Try to asscociate the VM on Red Hat Satellite and it will fail with error 'No host found to associate this VM with'
Actual results: Unable to associate VM due to mismatch in the MAC address (MAC address are same but the case does not match)
Expected results: Should be able to to associate VM even if the MAC's at both places are different (uppercase/lowercase)
