Description Hui Wang 2012-08-16 11:22:32 UTC

Description of problem:
If delete/add/migration one virtual machine to the Host, virt-who can't send the update to Sam server in virt-who -b mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-who-0.7-2.el5
subscription-manager-firstboot-1.0.13-1.el5
subscription-manager-1.0.13-1.el5
subscription-manager-gui-1.0.13-1.el5
python-rhsm-1.0.5-1.el5
katello-headpin-all-0.2.13-1.el6_2.noarch
candlepin-0.6.5-1.el6_2.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register Host and some Guests that on the host to SAM
2. Edit virt-who config file on Host: 
VIRTWHO_BACKGROUND=1
VIRTWHO_DEBUG=1
3. start virt-service in background on Host
#virt-who -b
4. Check the /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on Host
5. Delete/add/migration Guests 
6. Check the service virt-who status on Host
7. Check the /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on Host, the log has no update.
8. Check the host/guest association on SAM server, there is no update.
  
Actual results:
/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log and host/guest association on SAM server are not updated

Expected results:
The /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log should be updated and the host/guest association should be updated

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.

Comment 2 Radek Novacek 2012-08-24 07:07:34 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Can you rerun virt-who with "-d" argument and post rhsm.log here? Note that /etc/sysconfig/virt-who is used only for starting virt-who as a service and not from command line.

Run virt-who -b, there will nothing added and if add/delete guests, it still can't update. And check the host/guest association on SAM server, there is no update. So it is sure that virt-who -b has not sent the current guest uuids to SAM.

Comment 4 Radek Novacek 2012-09-03 09:48:24 UTC

The log looks correctly. Does the other virt-who modes work? Like -o or without argument?

Can you rerun it as "virt-who -b -d" and paste /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log here?

Comment 5 Hui Wang 2012-09-05 09:34:32 UTC

Now actually the CLI "virt-who -d", "virt-who -b", "virt-who -o" can send the current guest uuids to the SAM server (how to verify--e.g: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848781#comment5).
But these CLI mode still can't update log in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log except using "virt-who -b -d"
virt-who -d and virt-who -b are both running in background mode. What is the difference between them? only the standard output?

Comment 6 Hui Wang 2012-09-17 07:36:01 UTC

Only virt-who -d can provide the log in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log even if virt-who -b can monitor the events. It will provide the "man" configure file to make CLI clarely. This will be traced by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848781. So move the bug to CLOSED.
