Created attachment 537829 [details] Guest's facts displays
Precisely，the guest that has been installed via "Virtualization Method" of PV will display "virt.uuid: Unkown".The guest that has been installed via "Virtualization Method" of HVM can display the UUID normally.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a RHEL5.8 snapshot2.0 server x86_64 Xen host and register to candlepin. 2.Start virt-manager,install one guest (PV) on the host 3.Boot one guest,register to candlepin 5.Start virt-who service in terminal1 of host,check the output of termimal1 #service virt-who restart Stopping virt-who: [ OK ] Starting virt-who: Virt-who is running in libvirt mode Starting infinite loop with 3600 seconds interval and event handling [ OK ] [root@localhost ~]# Unable to obtain status from server, UEPConnection is likely not usable: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-who/subscriptionmanager.py", line 60, in connect if not self.connection.ping()['result']: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhsm/connection.py", line 411, in ping return self.conn.request_get("/status/") File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhsm/connection.py", line 267, in request_get return self._request("GET", method) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhsm/connection.py", line 234, in _request self.validateResponse(result) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rhsm/connection.py", line 249, in validateResponse raise RemoteServerException(response['status']) RemoteServerException: <unprintable instance object> Sending update to updateConsumer: [] EVENT: Domain rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32(1) Started Booted Virtual machine found: rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32: ea898b80-5200-6ba1-6bb6-5dcd3ab07369 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The reported uuid of guest rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32 6.Check the virt.uuid via CLI of the "View System Facts" of subscription-manager on guest rhel5.8snaphsot2.0-server-32 #subscription-manager facts --list .... system.uuid: 0de520d2-a755-4cae-9ccd-486b4f130cb7 uname.machine: i686 uname.nodename: localhost.localdomain uname.release: 2.6.18-301.el5xen uname.sysname: Linux uname.version: #1 SMP Tue Dec 13 17:17:36 EST 2011 virt.host_type: xen xen-domU virt.is_guest: True virt.uuid: Unknown ^^^^^^^^The virt.uuid is unknown Actual results: The facts of guest's virt.uuid displays "Unkown" via GUI and CLI.
