Chapter 7. Managing Virtual Hosts and Guests

Several services 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.

7.1. Supported Hypervisors

The virt-who process can detect and associate guests on several different types of hypervisors:
  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (KVM)
  • Xen
  • HyperV
  • VMware ESX
