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 Amanda Carter 2012-12-10 15:59:22 UTC 
The vcpu attribute on a subscription should be used to calculate / message valid subscription usage to a user.

This should function like sockets does today:
1. detect vcpu value on a system and on subscriptions
2. use this value to choose 'matching' subscriptions, alert when subscriptions don't match, etc
3. per dgoodwin, stacking logic for vcpu is already in place

The vcpu attribute is only used on 'virt_only' subscriptions today.

    Implement vcpu product attribute.
    
    Cores and Sockets are no longer used on virtual guests.
    the vcpu attribute is tested against cores
Comment 7 John Sefler 2014-01-24 20:58:04 UTC 
As indicated in comment 6, the compliance of a virtual/guest system now ignores subscriptions with a "sockets" and "cores" attribute.  Instead, when a subscription supporting a "vcpu" attribute is attached, the system's compliance will be compared to the system's "cpu.cpu_socket(s)"*"cpu.core(s)_per_socket" value as a measure of vCPUs.

Following is a demonstration for compliance on a virtual/guest system with a Stackable subscription that supports VCPUs.

[root@jsefler-7 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | grep is_guest
virt.is_guest: True
[root@jsefler-7 ~]# subscription-manager facts --list | egrep "^cpu\."
cpu.core(s)_per_socket: 2
cpu.cpu(s): 2
cpu.cpu_socket(s): 4
cpu.thread(s)_per_core: 1
cpu.topology_source: kernel /sys cpu sibling lists

NOTICE: This virtual system has 4*2=8 cores which is interpreted as 8 vcpus

VERIFIED: After attaching a total quantity of 4 entitlements from 3 attachments, we now cover all 8 vCPUs and the "Status Details" for the consumed subscriptions are empty (indicating full compliance).


The actual attributes associated with the attached entitlements can bee see from rhsm-debug as follows (look for the "vcpu" attribute)...

VERIFIED: Notice above that the productAttributes for this subscription contained a "vcpu" attribute with a value of "2" which means that each single attachment of this subscription covered two vCPUs.  This is why all eight VCPUs were covered for compliance after attaching a total quantity of four.

NOTICE: Also notice that the productAttributes contained a "sockets" attribute with a value of "1" which was ignored for this virtual system.  Had this system been a physical/is_guest=false system, then the sockets attribute would have contributed to compliance of the system's "cpu.cpu_socket(s)" and the vcpu attribute would have been ignored.


Moving this RFE to VERIFIED.
Further issues will be opened under separate bugzillas.
