Satellite 5.6 - virtual nodes shown as physical
Hi all,
I have just finished Satellite upgrade to 5.6. It seems it works well but when I go to:
Systems (top tab) -> Systems (left) -> Physical Systems
I can see that there are two hosts (RH 5.1) which are running under Vmware.
Is it bug in Satellite or is it related to RH release on these two nodes ?
Regards
Przemek

Hello Przemek,
There no such known bug in Red Hat Satellite v 5.6 but it might be possible that 2 RHEL 5.1 client systems are not flex eligible so they are consuming Physical entitlements.
To know more about Flex Guest entitlements you can check - https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/17397
To fix this issue you may need to update rhn-client-tools , rhn-setup packages on client to version <= 0.4.20-33.el5 provided by errata - http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0270.html. Can you please let us know version of rhn-client-tools package installed on 2 Vmware guest systems ?
To convert systems (which are flex eligible) consuming physical / regular entitlement to Flex you can try accessing bellow link
https://satellite.example.com/rhn/systems/entitlements/EligibleFlexGuests.do
Note: Replace satellite.example.com with hostname/IP of your satellite server.

Hi Przemek,
okie, we need to check sosreport of client system. So can you please open ticket with Red Hat Support , we will assist you to get this issue solved.
Have you already tried re-registering those virtual system to satellite ? if yes, still they are consuming physical entitlement ?

Hi Przemyslaw - could you open a ticket for that? That seems like a bug (possibly). As though some identification did not follow from 5.5 to 5.6 with the upgrade. I don't track my virtual vs physical very closely and I also have not upgraded yet - so, I guess I'll find out when I do ;-)
