Easy virtual machine detection in Linux (e.g. kickstart)
This was something I needed in th %pre
of my kickstart, but its likely to be generally handy so noting the recipe for future reference.
# Detect virtualisation
if [[ $( hostnamectl status | grep Chassis | awk '{print $2}' ) == 'vm' ]]
then
# Virtual machine
echo "This is a virtual machine."
else
# Physical machine
echo "This is not a virtual machine."
