Puppet users - Aug 2011 - facter-1.6.0 incorrectly identifies hardware node as virtual

I''ve installed facter-1.6.0 and puppet-2.7.3 on a number of SLES 10
hardware nodes (HP DL580) running the Virtuozzo hosting software.

Well, facter correctly identifies such a machine as a hardware node
("virtual => openvzhn") but somehow concludes that the hardware
node
is in fact virtual. ("is_virtual => true")

This breaks some rather important logic. If anyone knows of a patch
floating around out there for 1.6.0 I''d be obliged. Even better would
be to get this officially fixed for facter-1.6.1.

Joe

Hi,

i have had the same trouble with puppet 2.6.9 and facter 1.6.0

i changed the if $ist_virtual{..} to if $is_virtual == ''true''
{...}
and now it works again.

Excellent, thanks - patch applied here with good results.

It appears the issue is already known as of facter-1.5.9:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7957

So, the ball should already be rolling on this one - right?

I missed that in my brief search. I''ve commented with said patch and
unit
tests. Should be fixed upstream in the future.
