 # Ohai Release Notes:
 
 Chained virtualization systems, such as containers running on virtual machines, can now be tracked in
-node[:virtualization][:systems].
+node[:virtualization][:systems]. This is in addition to the former system under node[:virtualization][:role] and
+node[:virtualization][:system]. For example, a node could have all of these attributes at once:
+
+```
+node[:virtualization][:system] = "vmware"
+node[:virtualization][:role] = "guest"
+node[:virtualization][:systems][:lxc] = "host"
+node[:virtualization][:systems][:vmware] = "guest"
+```
+
+Due to the requirements for being an LXC host being easily fulfilled, we only
+populate the old system (role & system) with LXC if there are no other virtualization systems detected.
