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.

Description J.C. Molet 2012-08-03 14:38:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
In subscription-manager-gui when you are manually subscribing to subscriptions, the gui gives a suggested default quantity in order to become compliant.

For example if you have 8 sockets, and you have a stackable subscription that provides for 2 sockets each, the suggested default quantity would be 4.  If you are then already subscribed to two, the suggested default quantity would be 2.

This works for single subscriptions, but when you have multiple stacking subscriptions the default quantity calculation does not consider other subscriptions (within the same stacking_id group) when you are partially subscribed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.0.12-1.git.9.871cb04.el5
subscription-manager-gui-1.0.12-1.git.9.871cb04.el5
python-rhsm-1.0.4-1.git.7.47e5112.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
(Have a rhel5.9 system with the rhel sever product - 69.pem installed)
1.echo '{"cpu.cpu_socket(s)":"8"}' > /etc/rhsm/facts/sockets.facts
2.[root@jmolet-vm0 product]# grep . /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf | grep -v \# | head -4
[server]
hostname=subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com
prefix=/subscription
port=443
3. subscription-manager register --username=stacking-stage --password=redhat
4. in the gui, partially subscribe to one of the stackable subscriptions titled: 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Standard (1-2 sockets) (Up to 4 guests)

5. 'Update' your search list in "all available subscriptions", with all filters off

Actual results:
If you subscribed with a quanity of 2 subscriptions in step 4, only the subscription with the same SKU will have an updated suggested quantity.  The other subscription (different SKU) that is stackable with your current subscription will not have an updated suggested quantity.  It will still suggest you subscribe to 4 subscriptions.  You would then be oversubscribing.  See screenshot in next comment.

Expected results:
The suggested quantities for all subscriptions with the same stacking-id would be updated upon every subscribe.

It can be seen from the attachment that, subscriptions with the same SKU decrease in number accordingly when partially subscribed.

Other subscriptions which are stackable with it but have different SKUs are not affected.
