All from vanilla 4.1.0.rc1 agent on sles12sp2 being accepted on a same-versioned root server (no relays).

The system is a PV Guest.

# xen-detect
Running in PV context on Xen V4.7.

Here are some relevant lines from running it in verbose mode

 verbose: Unable to detect environment from cf-monitord
 verbose: This appears to be a SUSE system.
 verbose: Looking for SUSE enterprise info in 'SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (x86_64)'
 verbose: Discovered SUSE version SuSE_12
 verbose: This appears to be a xen hv system.
...
rudder  verbose: C: discovered hard class xen
rudder  verbose: C: discovered hard class xen_domu_hv
...

But in the bundle agent fusionAgent you don't handle this case:

    SuSE.xen_dom0::
      "xen_tools_package" string => "xen-tools";
    SuSE.xen_domu_pv::
      "xen_tools_package" string => "xen-tools-domU";
    debian::
      "xen_tools_package" string => "xenstore-utils";
    !debian.!SuSE::
      "xen_tools_package" string => "xen";

Please add xen_domu_hv to that line with "SuSE.xen_domu_pv"

  • Translation missing: en.field_tag_list set to Blocking 4.3

I'm marking it blocking 4.3 until we know if it's something that should be corrected elsewhere too.

  • Status changed from New to Rejected

We don't use this code anymore - all related xen code as been purged right after 4.3 rc1 (as well as tools) in #8922

@Janos Matya: could you confirm that 4.3-rc2 or latter works as expected in Xen-based plateform?
