If virt.host_type is ibm_systemz, we explicitly mark the uuid as unknown. System Z VMs are not tracked via virt-who, so there is no need to track the virt.uuid. Marking as closed/notabug, feel free to re-open the bz though if you have any questions or concerns.
I agree that System Z VMs are not tracked via virt-who, but that's because we don't know how to do it yet. The first step to figuring that out will be to determine the virt-uuid for this ibm_systemz-zvm. Hence I am re-opening this bug as an RFE on s390x. With the latest packages...
