Q: What's the best way to tell what hypervisor type a VM is running?
A: The easiest way to figure out the underlying hypervisor of a VM is by querying its virtual MAC address. You can do this by running ipconfig /all when connected to any Windows VM.
Note: A mac address can be manually set by administrators in which case this solution would not work.Here are the OUIs of the major virtualization platforms:
- Microsoft: 00-03-FF
- SWsoft: 00-18-51
- Virtual Iron: 00-0F-4B
- VMware: 00-0C-29 and 00-50-56
- XenSource: 00-16-3E
