Yes. The kernel exposes a bunch of the dmi info in /sys/class/dmi/id.
This should be equivalent:
if grep -q 'VMware' /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor; then
chkconfig smartd off
fi
But NOTE: %post scripts run inside the *installed* system, not the
anaconda runtime, so it doesn't matter whether or not dmidecode is in
the anaconda runtime. As long as dmidecode is installed in your system
your %post scripts don't need to be changed.
