Description alessandro.taufer 2023-06-26 08:03:19 UTC
Description of problem:
It's impossible to request a virtual subscription of RedHat OS while running in a Openshift container. That's due to the fact that virt-what doesn't detect CRI-O based containers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.8


How reproducible:
Run a container registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-init:8.8 on openshift

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch a container registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-init:8.8 on openshift
2. Run #virt-what

Actual results:
#virt-what
Return code 0

Expected results:
#virt-what
crio

Can you tell us the precise version of virt-what?  rpm -q virt-what

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2023-06-27 13:21:42 UTC
Also what's the version of OpenShift (if known).

What is the contents of /proc/1/environ ?

Comment 3 alessandro.taufer 2023-06-27 13:48:26 UTC
Thank you for the quick reply!

$ rpm -q virt-what
virt-what-1.25-3.el8.x86_64

$cat /proc/1/environ # I just kept the part related to the container because I'm not sure how much of the file I am allowed to share
container=crio

Openshift Version: 4.13.1

I can reproduce it in an OCP cluster which is installed on baremetal.

I also tried the cluster which is installed on a VM, the result is
# virt-what
kvm

I tried it again in podman, the result is
# podman exec -it 392a422ca3b2 virt-what
oci

I believe we are expecting output like:

# virt-what
kvm
crio      ; or maybe "oci" here, being discussed on tech-list

Note "kvm" is still printed because of the KVM VM you're running it in.

Yes, this is correct.

Xiaodai, can I get remote access to this?  (Email me the creds if possible)

http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=commitdiff;h=95d18c02038f44bc3e8ff264079f8b697eecf1bd

# virt-what
crio

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2023-06-28 12:29:38 UTC
I've suggested a potential fix in ITM 20 for RHEL 8.9, although it's a bit late in
the process.  Let's see what QE want to do.

Comment 9 YongkuiGuo 2023-06-28 12:31:02 UTC
Thanks xiaodai for reproducing this issue.

Comment 10 YongkuiGuo 2023-07-03 07:54:23 UTC
Tested with the following package:
virt-what-1.25-3.el8.x86_64

Steps:

1. Install OCP 4.13 in a VM and launch a container registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-init:8.8

sh-4.4# rpm -q virt-what
virt-what-1.25-4.el8.x86_64
sh-4.4# virt-what
crio
kvm

The 'crio' is printed as expected.
