hi,
I am newbie and I think I am trying to bit off more than I could chew in this field. I would like to know if virtualization with Vmware Citrix on a dedicated server under ubuntu 64bit is simple.
I looked up in the board with keyword "virtualization, vmware, dedicated" but replied threads are... (2 Replies)
Hey Guys, we will be very interested in learning from your experiences on using Red Hat Virtualization. I am still trying to understand how does VMware and Red Hat Virtualization fit with each other. Has anyone been on projects where the customer is using both ? and any experiences you may have had (1 Reply)
was looking for some help /tutorials on xen ..im a beginner on virtualisation ..so any help would be greatly appreciated ...p.s. whats the basic difference between para and full virtualisation (2 Replies)
Hello,
I need to make a quick decision between redhat xen and vmware. The servers that need to be virtualized are mostly windows and run core business services. There are a few linux boxes as well.
My first thought was Xen but last time I tried it on RedHat 5 (our distro of choice) Windows... (9 Replies)
SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1) systemd-detect-virt SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1)NAME
systemd-detect-virt - Detect execution in a virtualized environment
SYNOPSIS
systemd-detect-virt [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-detect-virt detects execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization technology and can distinguish full
machine virtualization from container virtualization. systemd-detect-virt exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default, any type of virtualization is detected, and the options --container and
--vm can be used to limit what types of virtualization are detected.
When executed without --quiet will print a short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The following technologies are
currently identified:

If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both machine and container
virtualization are used in conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless --vm is passed).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-c, --container
Only detects container virtualization (i.e. shared kernel virtualization).
-v, --vm
Only detects hardware virtualization).
-r, --chroot
Detect whether invoked in a chroot(2) environment. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the
process was invoked in a chroot() environment or not.
--private-users
Detect whether invoked in a user namespace. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the process was
invoked inside of a user namespace or not. See user_namespaces(7) for more information.
-q, --quiet
Suppress output of the virtualization technology identifier.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
If a virtualization technology is detected, 0 is returned, a non-zero code otherwise.
