This is what I used a while ago to check regular Solaris vs. xVM. Hope
it still works and helps.
As for VirtualBox, as someone else stated, not so easy.
Step 1: issue "uname -i".
For regular Solaris or hvm_domU, it shows "i86pc". Go to Step 2.
For Dom0 or pv_domU, it shows "i86xpv". Go to Step 3.
Step 2: Regular Solaris vs. hvm_domU.
Issue "prtconf -D | grep xpv".
For hvm_domU (since snv_89), it shows something like
pci5853,1, instance #0 (driver name: xpv)
xpvd, instance #0 (driver name: xpvd)
For regular Solaris, it shows nothing.
Step 3: Dom0 vs. pv_domU.
Issue "prtconf -D | grep xnb" or "grep xdb".
xnb is "network backend driver", and xdb "disk backend driver".
For Dom0, it shows something like
xnb, instance #0 (driver name: xnbo)
xnb, instance #1 (driver name: xnbo)
xnb, instance #2 (driver name: xnbo)
or
xdb, instance #0 (driver name: xdb)
For pv_domU (and regular Solaris), it shows nothing.
Thanks.
