Use standard Linux tools to inspect the hardware on the system.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
or
ethtool -i eth0
or
dmidecode | grep -i vmware
If the output of these commands shows hardware with a manufacturer name of “VMWare”, you’re on a VMWare VM. Multiple commands are provided here because system configurations and tools differ.
