Re: Add "is_virtual" fact for AIX

Tim Purkerson in what scenarios would this fact return true vs false?

Scenarios:

For AIX running on bare-metal (non-LPAR), is_virtual should return "false". This is where the following OS commands return a value of "1":

lparstat -i | grep 'Partition Number' | awk '{print $4}'

For AIX running in an LPAR (virtualized partition running on top of IBM’s VIOS hypervisor), is_virtual should return "true". This is where the same command above returns a value > 1.

Ah thanks Scott Pruzinsky. I had no idea AIX was commonly run on bare-metal outside an lpar environment.

Re: Add "is_virtual" fact for AIX

I think there are 3 total scenarios:

  • bare metal
  • LPAR
  • WPAR (possibly based on either bare-metal or an LPAR?)

I can't seem to find any evidence that S390 is still supported for modern AIX systems, so at least z/VM detection isn't needed
