RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

The doc text looks good for me. 

We will start to test it when the scratch build is rady, according the PR, we can check the deprecation warning by:
1). man virt-who-config
2). when /etc/sysconfig/virt-who is used, deprecated warning message will be found in /var/log/rhsm.log.

clearing the need info fag . As the additional request in comment 3 has already been provided.

Have made the docs update in the following places:
RHSM release notes: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3322541
Configuring Virtual Machines in RHSM: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_subscription_management/1/html-single/configuring_virtual_machine_subscriptions_in_red_hat_subscription_management/index?lb_target=production#configuring-virt-who (important note in the  top of chapter 4)

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

@Anni, 
I just noticed we should mark which major release will be deprecated, so a little change as below:

The use of environment variables and the use of the sysconfig file to configure virt-who are deprecated. Their use will be ignored in the next major release(RHEL-9).

That has been added.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
