7. Managing Hypervisors and Virtual Hosts
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has an optional service available which can automatically detect guests on a virtual host system and register them as virtual systems. This allows subscriptions which are specific to virtual systems to be available to the guest and for subscriptions which are inherited from the host to be applied to the guest.
Important
In Customer Portal Subscription Management, there is no mapping or visual representation of the relationship between a hypervisor and its guests.
7.1. Supported Hypervisors
The
virt-who process can detect and associate guests on several different types of hypervisors:
- Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (KVM)
- Xen
- HyperV
- VMware ESX
