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 Mike McCune 2019-11-13 21:24:26 UTC 
Due to growing customer concern about the UUID consolidation work that was done in 6.5 and the conflicts it is causing during host registration, we are going to add a switch to Candlepin to disable the constraint.

The main Satellite 6 product bug can be found here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1749785

This bug is to track the effort to add the switch and configuration to Candlepin.

Comment 8 Mike McCune 2020-03-11 17:25:10 UTC 
Configuration value in /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf:

candlepin.use_system_uuid_for_matching = false
Comment 9 jcallaha 2020-03-11 18:07:08 UTC 
Verified in Satellite 6.7 Snap 16

Steps:
1. Added following configuration line to /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf
    candlepin.use_system_uuid_for_matching=false
2. Restarted satellite services (for good measure)
3. Set the uuid to be the same on two hosts
    echo '{"virt.uuid": "4546B285-6C41-5D6R-86G5-0BFR4B3625FD", "virt.is_guest":"True"}' > /etc/rhsm/facts/virt_uuid.facts
4. Registered both hosts to the satellite

Result:
Both hosts were correctly registered and received unique subscription ids.

See attached screenshot for verification.
