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.

Doc Text:
Previously, Satellite created duplicated profiles for RHEL-based hypervisors causing them to consume twice as many subscriptions. Users had to configure virt-who in VDSM mode manually on RHEL-based hypervisors prior to registering them to Satellite. From Satellite 6.6 onwards, Satellite creates unique profiles for RHEL-based hypervisors. Therefore, you must first register RHEL-based hypervisors with subscription-manager and then configure virt-who using the virt-who configuration tool in the Satellite web UI.

Description Ashish Humbe 2019-07-17 09:12:06 UTC 
1. What is the nature and description of the request?  
-->
When configuring virt-who for RHEV or RHEL-OSP hypervisors/compute nodes, the proper configuration of virt-who is complex and complicated by the fact that the user may also register the hypervisor/compute nodes via subscription-manager. This effectively creates multiple consumer records within Candlepin making it difficult to properly attach subscriptions. 

 
2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  
-->
Most subscriptions that are sold for RHV/RHEL-OSP include content for 
both the hypervisor AND its guests. And since we cannot 'break' a 
subscriptions components across two host records, the customer ends up 
in a situation where they do not have enough subscriptions to properly 
subscribe both hypervisors.


3. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
--> There should be only one profile created for RHEV/RHEL OSP hypervisors through which Hypervisor can get updates and guests running on the hypervisor can inherit subscription.

This issue has been remedied in candlepin in version 2.3.5+
The virt-who part was remedied in version 0.22.5+

Comment 7 Chris Snyder 2019-08-22 15:04:57 UTC 
Virt-who supports the request from comment 6. Reassigning to the virt-who configure plugin for us to verify that plugin can generate a config capable of the same.
Comment 11 Eko 2019-09-24 08:59:54 UTC 
According to our testing, this issue is already resolved in sat6.6, take vdsm host as the example, the actually result is:

if you create a rhevm virtwho-configure file for the vdsm mode, start virt-who service, you will see an entry with 'virt-who-xxx' in the webUI, and then if you run subscription-manager to register the vdsm host again, you will get error message:  "HTTP error (422 - Unknown): The DMI UUID of this hos..."

So the result is: Always only one entry displayed in the webUI for the same host.
Comment 13 Brad Buckingham 2019-09-24 15:47:08 UTC 
Based upon comment 11, closing this bugzilla as 'nextrelease' as it will be resolved in Satellite 6.6.
