RHBA-2020:5444 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for virt-who is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The virt-who service collects information about the connection between the
hypervisor and its virtual guests that are present in the system and
provides the subscription manager with a mapping file containing the
hypervisor-guest pairs. The service periodically queries the hypervisor to
report its guests and changes the mapping file accordingly, making sure
that the information stored in the subscription manager is accurate.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• virt-who fails to parse output from hypervisor. (BZ#1872477)
