Thanks Martin, 

I'll take a look at hvctl if it can be used in my program to detect ldom 
environment.

On a T-Series box a stand-alone system technically speaking is a control domain 
that does not control anything else (but it would be the one to do the job once 
you configure other guest)
That said, yes, the hvctl device is also present on a stand alone T class 
system.

Thanks for your answer.

Does "hvctl" device exist in a stand-alone system? We need to detect the 
stand-alone system also.

No, we just want to know if the program is running within 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?

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.
