I have a few former physical servers that were virtualized. I tried re-registering them. This succeeded in changing the status of some of them from physical to virtual, but there are an equal number that are still being flagged as physical, even though I can see when I click on the Hardware tab for each of them that VMware is the manufacturer. Any pointers to clearing this up would be appreciated.
