The whole history about this bug can be reviewed in Puppetlabs bugtracker: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210 In short: - If a machine runs on KVM, Facter sometimes can't figure that out - Puppet on virtual machines on KVM (and RHEV) thinks they are physical - The bug is closed upstream starting from Facter version 1.6.14 - The fix depends on virt-what. I suggests that the EPEL Facter RPM (for 5 and 6) should be bumped to version 1.6.14 or higher and it should depend on the virt-what package.
