[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Systems Physical Systems ?

[Boyd, Robert]

I tried hardware refresh followed by rhn_check on the client.   I tried delete and reregister.   I’m not sure what this rhn-profile-sync is that you refer to.   Some of these servers are on RHEL4 and I don’t see anything named like that.

I believe it uses dmidecode information to make the determination. Have you tried scheduling a hardware refresh in the GUI for the affected systems? You can also do rhn-profile-sync locally on the system

How does Spacewalk determine that a server is physical when selecting the Systems -> Physical Systems button?

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.
