Interesting... this is true but only for the hosts I have kickstarted since upgrading from Spacewalk 0.6 to 1.4. I wondered why they were showing with the white icon instead of the usual gray/blue one.
Now I have a question... how do I get previously kickstarted/managed hosts (all VMware guest VMs mind you) to show up as virtual systems? Not that it makes much of a difference but this could prove to be a point of confusion for some folks in my organization. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Watts Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 1:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] PXE booting a VMWare server -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 06/06/2011 20:24, Kennedy, Ryan wrote: > No, you don’t want to use KVM guest (or anything else for that matter). > Just leave that dropdown set to “none” for VMware.

Note that VMware guests are detected as such by Spacewalk, so they do show up with the while outline icon of a virtual guest, I'm not sure Spacewalk treats them any differently apart from that though.
