You can register a virtual system as a "regular" system with spacewalk, but in order for spacewalk to know it is a virtual system, IIRC, it would have needed to be created from spacewalk. > 2) Can virtual systems be cloned from within spacewalk?

Was that error on the client? or in the ui? I agree that error isn't very descriptive. jesus _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
