    virt-who appears in content hosts, hostname

    Posted on

    Hi - hoping there's a simple answer to this. I've recently built a Satellite server running Satellite 6.2.14. We have VMware ESXi hosts so I'm also running virt-who from the Satellite server itself. All the content hosts have been picked up but the hostnames are all prepended with "virt-who" - so they all appear as virt-who-fqdn.

    Does anyone know how you stop this from happening? My virtwho config looks like this:

    [ipvcs]
    type=esx
    server=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    username=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    encrypted_password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    owner=Production
    env=Library
    rhsm_hostname=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    rhsm_username=xxxxxxxx
    rhsm_password=xxxxxxxxxxxx
    rhsm_prefix=/rhsm
    hypervisor_id=hostname

    Thanks Julian.
