env_hw.
# oakcli show env_hw
VM-ODA_BASE ODA X7-2-HA
The system is configured as a virtualized system when the command is valid and
returns output that is prefixed with the string VM-ODA_BASE. For example, the
output of the following command shows that the platform is configured with a
virtual machine environment (VM-ODA_BASE) and identifies the hardware
platform (ODA X7-2-HA).
If the system is configured as a bare metal platform, then the command oakcli
show env_hw is invalid.
