Re: [ldoms-discuss] Is It a Guest Domain

You better check for the existence of the "hvctl" device. It is only present in the control domain, if it's not there you are running inside a non-control domain.

Or are you looking for guest that only have virtual I/O access?

Hi All,

Our program is required to detect if it's running inside a guest domain for license purpose.
And I find some useful informations at http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Community+Group+ldoms/files/introtoldoms3usenix.pdf

According to that document, we can check the device under /etc/path_to_inst to detect a guest domain.
Then my method is:

if there is "channel-devices"
then
return guest_domain.
else
if all the "network" are "virtual-devices"
return guest_domain
then

does this make sense? Is this enough to say this is a guest domain? Any things wrong here you can see?

Thanks.
