Description Razvan Corneliu C.R. VILT 2021-05-10 19:16:12 UTC

Systemd doesn't recognize ESXi as a hypervisor. The v244-rc1 2-line patch applies cleanly to both the EL7 v219 tree and the EL8 v235 tree and solves this issue. It is not required for releases newer than 244 (Fedora and EL9).

It is a blocker for open-vm-tools AARCH64 support.

The patch can be located at: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4d4ac92c928fcbc60b85fcbf8370af3883ee63db.patch

As soon as I create all the bugs (open-vm-tools, virt-what) I will update the dependency tree.
