Better you check the value of /sys/hypervisor/uuid. If it''s all zeros,
then it would be dom0, otherwise a paravirtualized domU. To check
whether it''s a fully virtualized guest or not, you need to check the
output of "dmidecode" from within the guest. An HVM guest''s
dmidecode
should show as below
Handle 0x0100
DMI type 1, 27 bytes.
System Information
Manufacturer: Xen
Product Name: HVM domU
Version: 3.1.0-53.1.13.el5
Serial Number: 1298ca87-b138-d1c5-026a-8e2d79c70602
UUID: 1298CA87-B138-D1C5-026A-8E2D79C70602
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
