[rhn-users] Registering guests of ESX 3.5

[Peter C. Lai]

Not supported.

RHN supports virtual machine registration for an RHEL guest running under 
RHEL virtualization (xen or kvm). This is in order to support the standard 
RHEL agreement which provides 4 "free" RHEL VM registrations per RHEL
virtualization host.

Running an RHEL installation under VMware host will, and should, make that
RHEL host show up as a normal RHEL machine.
