[Spacewalk-list] Detecting KVM Fully Virtualised systems

Hi all,

I'm in the process of converting some VMware guests into KVM guests at
the moment.

These guests were already managed under spacewalk but as they were
vmware machines they were considered normal systems.

A freshly built system using a kickstart marked as a kvm virtual guest
shows after building as a fully virtualised system under the kvm
server properly in the web GUI.

A converted system from vmware to kvm still shows as a standard system
and teh web GUI does not link/show that host on the virtualised
systems screen as runnign under teh kvm host (just shows an
unregistered system).

How does spacewalk determine if a host is virtualised and the relation
ship between kvm host and kvm guest?

Will I have to do something at the DB level to get this correct or is
there a GUI method of sorting it out?

Thoughts?

James
