We just started supporting Solaris 10 in our VMware cluster so I had to update my zone type script to detect if the OS is running there. I’m not sure how I feel about depending on the output of ptrdiag since the interface is labeled “unstable”, but it works for now, and I really don’t see Sun changing the first line of output where the system configuration is listed. Anyhow, when issued with the -v or –vmware flag, the script returns 0 if it’s running on the cluster and 1 if it is not.
Usage:
# zonetype.sh -g or –global
Return 0: The machine is a global zone with 1 or more local zones
Return 1: The machine is not a global zone
# zonetype.sh -l or –local
Return 0: The machine is a local zone
Return 1: The machine is not a not a local zone
# zonetype.sh -v or –vmware
Return 0: The machine is running on a VMware hypervisor
Return 1: The machine is not running in VMware
#! /bin/bash
#
# When issued with the -g or --global flag, this script will return:
# 0 if the machine is a global zone and has one or more local zones.
# Otherwise, it will return 1
#
# When issued with the -l or --local flag, this script will return:
# 0 if if is a local zone and 1 if it is not
#
# When issued with the -v or --vmware flag, this script will return:
# 0 if it is a vmware host and 1 if not.
