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 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-01-17 18:29:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Upstream virt-what has support for Microsoft Hyper-V:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=commitdiff;h=ee4ad55ae2b9294d03e45a364c70c42f945d2fc7
Backport this into virt-what in RHEL 6.1.

*NB* This is completely untested and simply based on a
description of Hyper-V from MSDN.  QA will need to find
a Hyper-V virtual machine to test this on.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-01-26 23:48:20 UTC 
Confirmed that this works on a real Hyper-V system.

However we also need the following upstream patch:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-what.git;a=commitdiff;h=0e90af4014da8065a4062319921288baf972c6fb

Thus setting the bug back to ASSIGNED state.

Comment 7 Jinxin Zheng 2011-02-18 10:35:19 UTC 
We have verified that virt-what identifies hyper-V guests correctly:

# virt-what 
hyperv
