-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-16473 2013-09-12 00:34:25 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : virt-what Product : Fedora 19 Version : 1.13 Release : 2.fc19 URL : http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-what/ Summary : Detect if we are running in a virtual machine Description : virt-what is a shell script which can be used to detect if the program is running in a virtual machine. The program prints out a list of "facts" about the virtual machine, derived from heuristics. One fact is printed per line. If nothing is printed and the script exits with code 0 (no error), then it can mean either that the program is running on bare-metal or the program is running inside a type of virtual machine which we don't know about or can't detect. Current types of virtualization detected: - hyperv Microsoft Hyper-V - kvm Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) - openvz OpenVZ or Virtuozzo - powervm_lx86 IBM PowerVM Lx86 Linux/x86 emulator - qemu QEMU (unaccelerated) - uml User-Mode Linux (UML) - virtage Hitachi Virtualization Manager (HVM) Virtage LPAR - virtualbox VirtualBox - virtualpc Microsoft VirtualPC - vmware VMware - xen Xen - xen-dom0 Xen dom0 (privileged domain) - xen-domU Xen domU (paravirtualized guest domain) - xen-hvm Xen guest fully virtualized (HVM) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Enhanced tests for Xen and Linux VServer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 11 2013 Richard W.M.
