Physical and virual server difference
By definition, a local zone has no knowledge of the outside world, i.e., what it is hosted on, so there is no straightforward command that will tell you the name of the global zone or the physical box characteristics. Sometimes you can identify a global zone by comparing MAC address(es).
Search this forum and/or the web for "identify global zone from local zone".

getzonelabelbyname
getzonelabelbyid(3TSOL) Trusted Extensions Library Functions getzonelabelbyid(3TSOL)
NAME
getzonelabelbyid, getzonelabelbyname, getzoneidbylabel - map between zones and labels
SYNOPSIS
cc [flags...] file... -ltsol [library...]
#include <tsol/label.h>
m_label_t *getzonelabelbyid(zoneid_t zoneid);
m_label_t *getzonelabelbyname(const char *zonename);
zoneid_t *getzoneidbylabel(const m_label_t *label);
DESCRIPTION
The getzonelabelbyid() function returns the mandatory access control (MAC) label of zoneid.
The getzonelabelbyname() function returns the MAC label of the zone whose name is zonename.
The getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID of the zone whose label is label.
All of these functions require that the specified zone's state is at least ZONE_IS_READY. The zone of the calling process must dominate the
specified zone's label, or the calling process must be in the global zone.
RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, the getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions return a pointer to a sensitivity label that is allo-
cated within these functions. To free the storage, use m_label_free(3TSOL). If the zone does not exist, NULL is returned.
On successful completion, the getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID with the matching label. If there is no matching zone, the
function returns -1.
ERRORS
The getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions will fail if:
ENOENT The specified zone does not exist.
The getzonelabelbyid() function will fail if:
ENOENT No zone corresponds to the specified label.
