Hi,
yeah of course, there are various scripts for that

the (afaik) fastest way to detect ovirt is:
dmidecode | grep oVirt
but this needs root privileges.

And unfortunately, you can even tell the UUID of the specific host on
top of which the VM was first started via
dmidecode -s system-serial-number
in the guest. This feature is unfortunate, as it cannot really be
trusted (it does not update upon migration), and breaks an important
abstraction.
