Hi,

How can we check if a linux server is physical or virtual (hosted on VMWare) by just logging into the server remotely.

Thanks...
Gaby

Run "lspci". If you don't have root access, you may have to use a full path: /sbin/lspci or /usr/sbin/lspci. Then look at the listing.

If you see something like this, you are on a VMware virtual machine:
[...]
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
[...]

If you have root access, you can also use the dmidecode command:

dmidecode |less

If the "System Information" section says something like this, you're on a VMware virtual machine:

Manufacturer: VMware, Inc.
Product Name: VMware Virtual Platform

Hi,
as said above "dmidecode" command is the best way to verify this.

Good Luck ...!
