Hello.
I bought a VPS (Virtual private server) and I want to know which VM use by my provider?
For example, If my VPS in Linux, which VM virtualization Linux for me.

Thank you.

Ask them? Furthermore you are familiar with at least one virtualization product, So what have you tried to find yourself? What documentation, FAQ and VPS management tools does your VPS provider provide? What's the kernel name? Are there any particular device names or missing ones? Does 'dmesg' hold any clues?

That sentence does not make any sense to me.

I mean is a web host. How can I find which Virtual machine run my Virtual server.

Check lsusb or lspci for clues. The emulators used for the "physical" interfaces like network and video often have the hypervisor's name in them.

For example, one of my headless VirtualBox VMs has the following in lspci:

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
00:04.0 System peripheral: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Guest Service

Yes, But it just work when you can connect to the VM but I mean is Web server.

How about reading section 2 ?.

hack3rcon · 08-12-2015, 09:04 AM

If, I'm wrong. Please tell me why.

I asked other and they told me when processor is "KVM" then VM is "Linux-KVM".
