Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Corey Welton 2012-10-08 15:04:09 UTC
Description of problem:

I am trying to remember the actual reason why I wrote up this testcase, but I think I have figured it out.


Steps to Reproduce:

Preparation:

You will need to configure your installation of subscription-manager to point to a katello server, versus RHN Production
You will need a client system registered which has (or has emulated) multiple CPU sockets.
To simulate an N socket system, we will create an overriding system fact
# echo '{"cpu.cpu_socket(s)":"8"}' > /etc/rhsm/facts/sockets.facts
# subscription-manager facts --list | grep cpu.cpu_socket
cpu.cpu_socket(s): 8
You will also need access to a manifest file which appropriately unlocks "stackable" subscriptions.

1. Auto-subscribe a multi-socket system, assuring subscriptions are  adequate for all sockets - do not modify the Quantity of subscriptions
2. After registering, navigate to system in webUI and observe subscriptions for a system, noting the Quantity + associated spinner for each subscription
3. Hover over the spinner/quantity
  
Actual results:
Nothing

Expected results:

Something indicating the purpose of this spinner...

Now... the up/down arrows seem sort of self explanatory, and I was trying to remember why I wanted more detail. I think I remember now.

* Higher-end server, which have multiple CPUs (*not* cores) require a subscription for each CPU in order to maintain compliance
* A user may look at a high-end server and wonder why a single server is consuming so many subscriptions and subsequently try to reduce them.
* Alternately, a user might try to grant a single subscription to a high-end server and scratch his head wondering why it is not in compliance.

Thus... we should have something -- in the tooltip ("Note: quantities are per CPU") and/or in the helptip (Note: To maintain compliance, a system requires consumption of a subscription for each physical CPU in a system. Please refer to $business_rules_document for more information") which outlines this functionality.

Old Bug. Closing this out. If it is still an issue, please re-open with updates based on Satellite 6.1
