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.

Description Fabian Deutsch 2018-02-13 15:33:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
virt-inspector can be used to inspect a given disc.

It would be great if virt-inspector could also output a libosinfo short-id.

If this is done, then the connection to th elibosinfo database can be made, which enables a wide range of use cases - i.e. querying additional informations about the guest (name, version, …), also understanding requirements of this guest.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-02-13 15:47:46 UTC 
Yes we should do this.  It's a very easy change actually.  A new
API called something like ‘inspect-get-osinfo’, and a mapping
table buried in daemon/inspect*
Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2018-02-16 12:22:06 UTC 
Richard, yes that sounds good. I'd be happy to test this once it lands in upstream Fedora or alike.

which are in libguestfs >= 1.39.1.
Comment 7 Fabian Deutsch 2018-04-05 10:44:59 UTC 
One thing - It would be good if we can somehow detect windows geusts as well.

Should this be a spearate rfe?

(In reply to Fabian Deutsch from comment #7)
> One thing - It would be good if we can somehow detect windows geusts as well.

Basically it boils down to find out all the various combinations of version number (MAJ.MIN), product name, and product variant to an osinfo-db short ID.

> Should this be a spearate rfe?

No, this one is fine.

Verified with package：
libguestfs-1.38.2-10.el7.x86_64

Steps：
1.Prepare a RHEL7 guest image：
rhel7.6.qcow2

2.
# virt-inspector -a rhel7.6.qcow2  
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<operatingsystems>
  <operatingsystem>
    <root>/dev/rhel/root</root>
    <name>linux</name>
    <arch>x86_64</arch>
    <distro>rhel</distro>
    <product_name>Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.6 Beta (Maipo)</product_name>
    <major_version>7</major_version>
    <minor_version>6</minor_version>
    <package_format>rpm</package_format>
    <package_management>yum</package_management>
    <hostname>localhost.localdomain</hostname>
    <osinfo>rhel7.6</osinfo>
    <mountpoints>
      <mountpoint dev="/dev/rhel/root">/</mountpoint>
      <mountpoint dev="/dev/sda1">/boot</mountpoint>
    </mountpoints>
    <filesystems>
... ...

There is osinfo in the output, so verified.
