Re: Registering guests of ESX 3.5

Not supported.

RHN supports virtual machine registration for an RHEL guest running under 
RHEL virtualization (xen or kvm). This is in order to support the standard 
RHEL agreement which provides 4 "free" RHEL VM registrations per RHEL
virtualization host.

Running an RHEL installation under VMware host will, and should, make that
RHEL host show up as a normal RHEL machine.
