VMware: vCenter, vSphere, or ESX

6.3.1. Rerunning virt-who

Rerunning virt-who does not change a previously created hypervisor's environment or content view. This lets you manually move a hypervisor to a different environment and content view in Satellite. You can also change the virt-who host without impacting existing hypervisors. To rerun virt-who, use the command option:
# virt-who --one-shot
Re-registering the host on which virt-who is running to a new organization creates new hypervisors in that organization. Previously created hypervisors in another organization remain unchanged (until you delete them manually). If you add an organization, you must restart virt-who.
