What is the best method to distinguish a platform installation type (software or virtual?)

    When issuing the check version command on RHEL for example you will see something like this:

    " - ssg-appliance-8.4.00-3_x86_64   - ssg-nshieldpci-8.0-11.62.el6_x86_64   - ssg-8.4.00-3_noarch   - ssg-platform-1.2-00_noarch   - ssem-1.14.00-2_noarch " if comparing to other Gateway installations, what method can be used to distinguish a software install, or if it is a virtual appliance platform.

    Hi Arvin,

     

    This doc should help: How to confirm if the node is a physical or virtual appliance, or a software installation
