Issue #2345 has been updated by Adrien Thebo.

Assignee deleted (Paul Nasrat)

You raise a good point about the availability, or lack thereof, of dmidecode on 
OpenBSD. Regrettably it's one of the more useful ways of detecting 
virtualization, but in theory we could work around it. This specific issue 
probably should be generalized to add a virtual resolution that could map 
manufacturers to virtualization facts. I'll get some feedback from some people 
and see what the best tack on this is.

Bug #2345: virtual fact on openbsd wrong
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2345

Author: Joe McDonagh
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.x
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


The virtual fact on openbsd is wrong on a vmware guest. I currently don't have 
any xen systems or anything like that to test, but a fix on openbsd is as 
simple as

if Facter.value(:manufacturer) =~ /vmware/i
   result = vmware
end

That's with the patch I recently submitted to get the mfg fact on openbsd.
