Are you saying you migrated from VMware to RHEL KVM, meaning vmserver[1-4] are now RHEL5 running guests under KVM? If this is the case then setting 'virtualisation' or 'virtualisation_platform' entitlements on vmserver[1-4] then running rhn_check on vmserver[1-4] should go along way to fixing this. I've found it best to wait at least 10-20 seconds between setting the virt entitlements and running rhn_check. You will also need to re-register all you guests. If vmserver[1-4] are still running VMware, then I would expect each of the guests to consume a subscription, in line with RedHat policy.
