This issue affects RHEL 6 as well. While in the SAP example I do see why it may make sense for candlepin to consider the intersection of architectures and not the union, there are other SKUs which map to multiple products where we do want to make the SKU available even if some of the products don't match the machine. EUS and Employee SKU are two examples. Therefore, it would be best to have the filtering done on the client side through subscription-manager.
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Any reason this was kicked to 7.0 and not 6.5? It's a pretty annoying bug on our side. RCM has to maintain repos we know will be empty for all time for many product releases because of it.
This will be fixed by 706187.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
This is being fixed server side in candlepin by filtering the content added to entitlement certificates based on arch. This is in candlepin versions 0.8.13-1 and later
The client side changes for this are in the 5.10 builds, committed over a few commits, but this one is as good as any: (RHEL5.10 branch) commit 0d0711ea1a2665f0838b697137cbac3941944b1d Author: Adrian Likins <alikins> Date: Mon May 13 15:03:56 2013 -0400 962520: require python-rhsm 1.8.11 for arches
Removing block for rhel7, as a candlepin bug this was already verified in the original bug. Furthermore RHEL7 does not support i386 or ia64 arches, and there is no reason for this to be rhel7 specific.
