RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:	virt-what-1.11-1.3.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	"virt-what" now detects IBM POWER LPARs Previously, the "virt-what" utility did not recognize if the current system was running in an IBM POWER logical partition (LPAR). As a result, the subscription-manager utility displayed misleading licensing information for guest virtual machines running in an IBM POWER LPAR. With this update, "virt-what" was fixed and can now detect when the guest virtual machine is running in an IBM POWER LPAR. As a result, subscription-manager now provides correct subscription information in this scenario.	Story Points:	---

Packager version:
virt-what-1.11-1.3.el6.ppc64


Steps：
1.prepare a lpar ppc4 system with RHEL6.9
2.Update the virt-what to the latest version
3.Run "Virt-what" 

Result:
[root@ibm-p730-03-lp1 ~]# virt-what
ibm_power-lpar_shared

So verified.
