[Spacewalk-list] Re-provision guest systems

[Jonathan DeHaan]

Is there a particular reason that re-provisioning of guest systems is 
disabled?

I can install spacewalk-koan on my guest, run 'koan 
--server=ip.add.re.ss --replace-self 
--profile=Kickstart:1:SpacewalkDefaultOrganization', and it will 
reinstall, but it won't run the file preservation code, so I lose my SSH 
keys.

Someone asked about this last year, hoping to change a server from 
'guest' to 'non-virtual', but there were no replies at that time. I 
can't see any reason that the re-provisioning of guests would be any 
different than the re-provisioning of bare metal systems.
