Description of problem: The virt.uuid is "Unkown" in the RHEL5.10Server IA64/FV Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Host and guest's Linux Version: RHEL5.10-Server-20130725.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Precondition: Host Operating System:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 IA64 Guest Operating System:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10 IA64 FV 1.Install FV guest on the Xen host, start FV on host successfully. 2.Check the virt.uuid in the guest: #subscription-manager facts --list | grep virt.uuid Actual results: The result as the following: virt.uuid:Unknown Expected results: The virt.uuid shouldn't be "Unknown", it should be auto generate when the vm been created.just like "virt.uuid: 3bfa5f53-f9f3-9827-1111-56cc2bd2a235" the virt.uuid's value should the same as it in the virt-manager . Get the virt.uuid as the following steps: 1 Bring up virt-manager 2 In the virt-manager window, Choose the vm, double click 3 Go to Overview tab,see the uuid Additional info: 1 If Guest Operating System is "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 IA64 PV", it hasn't this problem 2 This problem block virt-who send the host/guest association to the sam server.
What is the output from 'virt-who' on this system?
Add guest "FVTEST", the rhsm.log as the following: Before add guest "FVTEST" 2013-08-01 20:26:05,409 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509', '60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d', '9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f'] 2013-08-01 20:26:16,133 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: aaaa: 9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f 2013-08-01 20:26:16,136 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: FV-5.10-novirtual: 03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509 2013-08-01 20:26:16,140 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.10_Server_ia64_FV: 60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d 2013-08-01 20:26:16,141 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509', '60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d', '9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f'] After add guest "FVTEST" 2013-08-01 20:26:17,203 [DEBUG] @virt.py:72 - EVENT: Domain FVTEST(1) Started Booted 2013-08-01 20:26:17,317 [DEBUG] @virt.py:72 - EVENT: Domain FVTEST(1) Started Booted 2013-08-01 20:26:17,318 [DEBUG] @virt.py:56 - Virtual machine found: FVTEST: 2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c 2013-08-01 20:26:17,330 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: aaaa: 9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f 2013-08-01 20:26:17,334 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: FV-5.10-novirtual: 03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509 2013-08-01 20:26:17,338 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.10_Server_ia64_FV: 60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d 2013-08-01 20:26:17,339 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509', '2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c', '60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d', '9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f'] 2013-08-01 20:26:19,268 [DEBUG] @virt.py:72 - EVENT: Domain FVTEST(-1) Defined Added 2013-08-01 20:26:19,270 [DEBUG] @virt.py:72 - EVENT: Domain FVTEST(-1) Defined Added 2013-08-01 20:26:19,274 [DEBUG] @virt.py:56 - Virtual machine found: FVTEST: 2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c 2013-08-01 20:26:19,361 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: aaaa: 9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f 2013-08-01 20:26:19,363 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: FV-5.10-novirtual: 03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509 2013-08-01 20:26:19,366 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.10_Server_ia64_FV: 60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d 2013-08-01 20:26:19,367 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509', '2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c', '60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d', '9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f'] 2013-08-01 20:26:26,873 [DEBUG] @virt.py:56 - Virtual machine found: FVTEST: 2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c 2013-08-01 20:26:26,921 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: aaaa: 9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f 2013-08-01 20:26:26,925 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: FV-5.10-novirtual: 03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509 2013-08-01 20:26:26,929 [DEBUG] @virt.py:62 - Virtual machine found: 5.10_Server_ia64_FV: 60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d 2013-08-01 20:26:26,929 [DEBUG] @subscriptionmanager.py:81 - Sending list of uuids: ['03a2af12-55c9-e7bb-7cd3-1044ab1a0509', '2907fb1c-6328-90f4-097d-e2feb556d71c', '60f0868b-b5fe-2d3a-08c4-509b68b1f67d', '9641f0ce-7158-9aef-dcc9-9c6d5081184f']
Unfortunately I think we have to close this as a cantfix. The FV guest is showing *no* dmi facts in "subscription-manager facts --list", this is where we get the guest UUID. This is very likely caused by: [root@localhost ~]# dmidecode # dmidecode 2.11 /sys/firmware/efi/systab: SMBIOS entry point missing Searching for that error turns up bugs like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497837 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473418 Unfortunately it looks like there is no way for us to fix this.
Hi all, if this bug can not be fixed, bonus pool can not be created on FV guest, virt-who test on ia64(XEN) + FV will be blocked, that means host/guest association will not support FV guest on ia64 XEN hypervisor. So I reopened this bug and hope somebody can confirm it, or find other ways to make virt-who test works, thanks!
Looknig at the earlier bugs, I do not think we can do anything here. I am going to close and let the business know.
