Description Bhavna Sarathy 2011-01-24 17:39:20 UTC

This BZ has been opened to document the fact that virt-what should not inadvertently report HW partitioning systems as hypervisors.   The recognized hypervisors (by RH) are VMware, HyperV, KVM, Xen.   The rest of them are 
HW partitioning systems, noteworthy ones are Virtage, Fujitsu Blade symphony, IBM systemz, IBM power.

Any corrections should be made in the document below, and also in the name returned by running the virt-what commands.

Please see updated documentation here:

This reflects what people will see in the RHEL 6.1
package.

Comment 7 Jinxin Zheng 2011-02-18 09:59:47 UTC

All the changes in the upstream patch could be found in the man page of virt-what-1.3-4.4.el6. so put this to VERIFIED.
