Hello Sachin,

You should be able to get some useful information from the DMI, e.g:

% for i in system-manufacturer system-product-name system-version\
system-serial-number; do echo -n "$i: "; sudo dmidecode -s $i; done

system-manufacturer: Xen
system-product-name: HVM domU
system-version: 3.3.1
system-serial-number: 89e5915f-dead-beef-cefd-46904ea94c4a
