This is because virt-who doesn't report the operating system facts of the hypervisor but Satellite is expecting it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a host running libvirt and register the host to the Satellite.
2. On Satellite, add the virt-who config for this host and deploy the config.
3. Then run "virt-who -do"

Actual results:
Error:
NoMethodError
undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass

Expected results:
Hypvervisor task finishes without error

Comment 1 Bryan Kearney 2021-03-31 16:02:42 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32150 has been resolved.

Comment 2 Kunxin Huang 2021-06-09 10:05:44 UTC
Verified this issue with Snap6.10_3.0:

Steps:
1. Prepare a host running libvirt and register the host to the Satellite.
2. On Satellite, add the virt-who config for this host and deploy the config.
3. Then run "virt-who -do"
