<pre>When running inside a Xen PV virtual machine, systemd-detect-virt displays
"none" and hostnamectl doesn't display "Virtualization" line:
[root@foo ~]# systemd-detect-virt
none
[root@foo ~]# hostnamectl
Static hostname: foo
Pretty hostname: foo
Icon name: computer
Chassis: n/a
Machine ID: baad787b99df4cc7a8ff801dfd96c735
Boot ID: baad822deca749a496ee91406681ebd6
Operating System: Foo Linux
Kernel: Linux 3.x.x-foo
Architecture: i686
Compare with running in vmware:
[root@bar ~]# systemd-detect-virt
vmware
[root@bar ~]# hostnamectl
Static hostname: bar
Transient hostname: localhost
Pretty hostname: n/a
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: d2016ade07564ecfb465fa009630602e
Boot ID: 09105e4eea624316a8eda284739dcc45
Virtualization: vmware
Operating System: Foo Linux
Kernel: Linux 3.x.x-foo
Architecture: i686
One way to detect is to look for presense of /sys/hypervisor/type:
[root@zorro ~]# cat /sys/hypervisor/type
xen
Or /proc/xen/ folder.</pre>
