Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.x

Issue

  • virt-who not reporting whitelisted hypervisors.

Resolution

  • Verify that you are using the correct(and exact) hostnames of the hypervisors while whitelisting them from Red Hat Satellite GUI:
Infrastructure > Virt-who Configurations > Select desired virt-who configuration > Edit this configuration > Filtering > Whitelist > Filter hosts > Verify the hostnames of hypervisors

Root Cause

  • The hostnames used to whitelist are different from the actual hypervisor hostnames.

Diagnostic Steps
