RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

issue: virt.uuid should not be "Unknown" in s390x when list facts

Expected results:
virt.uuid should be a real uuid value instead of "Unknown"

Additional info:
Comment 1 Chris Duryee 2012-04-25 15:09:31 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 John Sefler 2016-03-01 18:09:46 UTC 
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...
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# hostname
ibm-z10-52.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager virt-what
subscription-manager-1.16.8-3.el6.s390x
virt-what-1.11-1.2.el6.s390x
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# 
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# virt-what
ibm_systemz
ibm_systemz-zvm
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# 
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep virt
lscpu.virtualization_type: full
virt.host_type: ibm_systemz, ibm_systemz-zvm
virt.is_guest: True
[root@ibm-z10-52 ~]# 

ISSUE: Since virt-what is indeed reporting this as a virtual guest, the subscription-manager facts should include a virt.uuid  Exactly how to determine the value of the virt.uuid is unknown.  For this we NEEDINFO.
