[Spacewalk-list] How do I register Centos clients as "virtual" inSpacewalk?

[Matt Mannix]

Hosts do show up as being Virtual, if you check the Hardware specs
under "dmi info" the vendor should show up as VMWare, Inc. and System
should show up as VMWare Virtual Platform. Even the Asset tag is
pre-populated with VMWare information. At least thats what it does for
me under v2 of spacewalk.
