I am using some VPSes in OpenVZ containers. As I can see, our hosting provider somes moves them between his physical machines. It also means unwaited (and unexpected) reboots.
I have no technical contact with the VPS provider (there is a... complex company structure ;-) ), but I would like to know, what is happening and why.
I checked the
/proc/cpuinfo
, yes it sometimes changes. But it is not enough.
Can I somehow extract some ID about the host machine, while I have only a root access to the VPS (and zero access to the host)?
