Issue #2067 has been updated by intri geri.

This has been fixed for KVM in 1.5.8, thanks to Git commit 62b6773.
(Distributors, please note that this patch applies flawlessly on 1.5.7 and 
works well there too.)

Splitting this bug report into more specific ones (Xen, HyperV and kvm) would 
help tracking this I guess.

Bug #2067: Virtual fact does not work for Xen, HyperV, kvm

Hi

The 'virtual' fact seems to report only for vmware. See the following from the 
mailing list (re Xen):

2009/3/9 Trevor Hemsley <[email protected]>
manufacturer => Xen
virtual => physical

It appears that $virtual doesn't work on Xen :(



It appears it doesn' work under Debian/Windows HyperV either:-

g...@dv01:~ $ sudo facter virtual
physical
g...@dv01:~ $ sudo facter -v
1.5.1
g...@dv01:~ $ sudo facter operatingsystem
Debian
g...@dv01:~ $

It also doesn't seem to recognise a Solaris zone as a virtual, although it's 
arguable if it is or not:-

g...@sv01:~ $ facter -v 
1.5.2
g...@sv01:~ $ facter operatingsystem
Solaris
g...@sv01:~ $ sudo facter virtual
g...@sv01:~ $ 

To detect a non-Global zone on Solaris, run the zonecfg command as root -- it 
will return exit code 1:-

g...@sv01:~ $ zonecfg
zonecfg can only be run from the global zone.
g...@sv01:~ $ echo $?
1

Not sure how to detect HyperV or Xen.

Gary
