Sort of. For VMware, the guest tools (open-vm-tools) are in a special comps group ‘platform-vmware’ which Anaconda uses when installing on VMware. (There is also a comps group containing all guest agents) In addition the service files use systemd ‘ConditionVirtualization=vmware’ so the service should not start up unless VMware is detected at run time. > Today VirtualBox-server conflicts with VirtualBox-guest-additions and > vice versa . This sounds right, unless nested virtualization is expected to work (in which case a layer might be both a hypervisor and a guest). > %pre guest-additions > +if [ $(systemd-detect-virt | grep -iP "oracle|kvm" -c) -eq 0 ]; then > +echo "This package it is only to install in one Oracle VM VirtualBox." > +echo "You are trying install VirtualBox guest-additions but it hasn't been \ > +detected that your system is running in a VirtualBox virtualization, so we \ > +forced the installation to fail." > +exit 1 > +fi This won't work because you often prepare guest images on a system other than the final hypervisor.
