Hello again,

I will try to formulate my question another way: how the client is detecting that if it is the virtual guest or standalone station? As I can see from VM properties within Spacewalk, this system contain virtualization and UUID fields. From which system resource is this information provided from client to server?
Are you talking about the icon? I've also noticed that depending on where you view the system it might not display the right icon. I have a bunch of VM's all with the correct Virtualization info, that have the right icon in the "All" systems view and get listed correctly in the "Virtual Systems" list.

When I look at the systems list of a group however they all show the "physical machine" icon. I've never really paid further attention to it but that might be a bug.

I remember that I had similar problem once I've used 1.2 or 1.3 version of Spacewalk satellite.

thanks

Hello list,

I am in following situation:
- I've successfully installed and using spacewalk 1.9 with ~20 clients for some time - I've decided to rename one of spacewalk client (paravirtualized guest on XenServer) following way: -- delete system entry from Spacewalk server (using classic system deletion) -- rename hostname (editing /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/hosts file) followed with restart -- and try to re-register with spacewalk using "--foce" parameter to rhnreg_ks
I'm wondering why you would delete a system only to have a hostname change correctly shown in spacewalk? You can get the client to update its system info (hostname, hardware, etc) by running the *rhn-profile-sync* command. The spacewalk profile name (separate from the hostname) can be changed in the webui or via spacecmd.

Regards,
Jeremy
