Properties

proxied of <hardware> : boolean

Returns true if the device reports to a proxy agent. Otherwise returns false.

Q: proxied of hardware
A: false

Plural: proxieds

serial of <hardware> : string

Returns the bios's serial number.

Q: serial of hardware
A: VMware-42 22 c3 6e a0 bb 16 73-86 a8 e4 26 55 c0 3b 96

For AIX

This is the serial number for the physical hardware. Virtualized LPARs running on the same host hardware all return the same serial number.

For Solaris Sparc

Only Solaris 10 8/11 (U10) and later are supported.

If Logical Domains are enabled, this returns a string with the chassis serial number as reported by the Solaris command virtinfo -a with appropriate permissions.

If Logical Domains aren't enabled, this returns a string with the hostid.

For Solaris x86

The UUID is from the global zone of the running operating system.

If zones are configured, this can only return its value if the zone has access to /dev/smbios. The global zone always returns a value.

Plural: serials

uuid of <hardware> : uuid

Returns the bios's uuid.

Q: uuid of hardware
A: 4222c36e-a0bb-1673-86a8-e42655c03b96

For AIX

The UUID is created using the AIX installation's LPAR number.

For Solaris Sparc

Only Solaris 10 8/11 (U10) and later are supported.

The UUID is for the Logical Domain of the running operating system. If Logical Domains aren't enabled, exists uuid of hardware returns boolean false.

For Solaris x86

The UUID is from the global zone of the running operating system.

If zones are configured, this can only return its value if the zone has access to /dev/smbios. The global zone always returns a value.

Plural: uuids

virtual of <hardware> : boolean

Returns true if the client is running on a virtual machine.

Q: virtual of hardware
A: false

For AIX

Returns true if the operating system is hosted on a virtualized LPAR (determined by finding a virtual SCSI adapter or virtual Fibre Channel adapter). Returns false if the operating system is hosted on a physical LPAR.

For Solaris Sparc

Only Solaris 10 8/11 (U10) and later are supported.

Returns true only if the operating system is running in a guest Logical Domain virtual machine that is provided by Oracle VM Server for Sparc.

For Solaris x86

Returns true only if the operating system is running in a guest virtual machine.

If zones are configured, this can only return its value if the zone has access to /dev/smbios. The global zone always returns a value.

Plural: virtuals
