Devs,
What file/function handles flagging a system as virtual?
We want to look into flagging VMWARE systems as a virtual system.
This has been asked several times on the user list.
One person found that adding the SYSTEM_ID to the RHNVIRTUALINSTANCE
table did the trick, but I was wanting a more elegant solution.
Thanks for any help.

To consume Flex entitlements - this is done here:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=blob;f=backend/server/handlers/xmlrpc/registration.py
Line 45 - def parse_smbios(smbios) routine..
73 elif serial.startswith('VMware-'):
74 if uuid is None:
75 uuid = "flex-guest"
76 return (rhnVirtualization.VirtualizationType.VMWARE, uuid)
In short - we already have code to detect from hardware (smbios) data
sent from client to server for us to flag VMware systems as virtual
systems and allow them to consume out of a Flex entitlement pool. Of
course for Spacewalk entitlements do not matter too much. Why / what are
you trying to achieve here?
