The dmidecode utility can be used even on a vmware virtual guest, to
derive useful info about the [virtual] hardware, like this (from an
RHEL3 guest):
Handle 0x0001
DMI type 1, 25 bytes.
System Information
Manufacturer: VMware, Inc.
Product Name: VMware Virtual Platform
Version: None
Serial Number: VMware- 6x 5e 01 43 d4 dd nn nn...
UUID: 564DFF4F-9700-9E67-11D3-B04914BA4CC0
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
On a xen guest though (RHEL5), dmidecode exits with a failure:
# dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.7
/dev/mem: mmap: Bad address
Is it likely or reasonable to expect dmidecode to work on xen guests
in the future?
thanks,
Ed
