Server is Baremetal or VMWare?

Usually you can type one of the following commands to see if the server you are in is VMWare VM.

[root@VM001 ~]# /sbin/lspci | grep -i vmware
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
[root@qypprdestws03 ~]# grep -i vmware /proc/scsi/scsi
Vendor: VMware Model: Virtual disk Rev: 1.0
Vendor: VMware Model: Virtual disk Rev: 1.0
