There could be a couple of things going on here:

1) Is the host registered to RHN? If the host is not registered to RHN, 
RHN can't correctly associate it with its guests.

2) Do you have the rhn-virtualization-host package installed on the host 
machine and the rhn-virtualization-common package installed on both 
hosts and guests? These packages are necessary for RHN to determine the 
host<=> guest relationships between systems.

For more information about using virtualization with RHN Satellite 
(which I am assuming you are talking about based on your other post) 
please see the following whitepaper:
