i am trying to find whether any particular solaris server is physical or virtual....are there any commands or set of commands which only runs (or provide specific pattern ) on physical machines and provides different pattern or error on virtual one...
Is this the correct approach to find whether the machine is physical or virtual...
for VMware based virtualization its easy to find as i am using below method :
Please suggest some better meothods or way by which i can distinguish between physical and virtual machine.
thanks a lot for the command..but are there any commands or set of commands which can be run only on physical or only on virtual machines...basically i am trying to find a way by which i can distingwish between physical or virtual server
There is no such command at the OS level. There are plenty of ways to virtualize a Solaris server (physical domains, logical domains, zones, ovm for x86, virtualbox, VMWare, and the likes), and each one has its own more or less reliable method to identify itself.
can you please help me in identifying the type of virtualization techinque used on particular machine..it will be of great help..
i am able to grab information about VMware but not aware about others..could you please guide with commands or small scripts which can determine the virtualization technology is being used on particular server
Well, you already have the way to check if it is LDOMs virtualization. To check if the server is a zone, you can try running:
If you receive anything other than "1", it means it is a Solaris zone (this is the only situation that I know of that results in init process PID on Solaris to be other than "1").
thanks a lot "bartus11"...so you mean to say if i get output of command " pgrep init" other than one that means the zone is installed..
I have machine which is virtual one based on VMware.output is as below :
so if i run this command on any of the physical solaris server will give output as "1"? .. correct me if i am wrong somewhere..
i am trying to run command
on VMware machine output is as below:
Does this command output differs or has any peculiar pattern(for eg : ID filed will be nonzero) on virtualized machine done through zoning.
Is this the right approach i am taking to find out zone based virtual machine...
Need inputs when physical server is coming down (ex- init 0) .
We have a physical server in that there are couple of LDOM's and in LDOM's there are couple of Zones . In zones there are applications running .
Physical Server (T4 Server) -> LDOM -> ZONES -> applications
There are scripts... (1 Reply)

Hi All,
How can I know whether the server I am connecting to is a virtual or physical one? The server might be having any Unix OS (Linux/Solaris/HP-UX etc.).
Is there any system files / commands which can show these concrete information?
Thanks in advance for the replies.

We have some AIX Unix Servers with 4 or 6 CPU and when type this command “c” in nmon always displays each cpu % with Averages on buttom. However we have several Servers with 18 CPU's and it only shows 16 17 on main page. Does nmon have some command that would show remaining with totals for Physical... (3 Replies)
Hello,
I have a SUN T5240 running Solaris 10 with Logical Domain Manager (v 1.0.3). You can use the "ldm" command to display current resources on the box. Is there away to display all the "physical resources" on the box(i.e.,used and unused). For example, "ldm ls" will tell me what the... (5 Replies)
