While running nova show instance-id it list extended attribute like host name, host-id. etc. is there api to find out hypervisor type which instance belongs to. for ex: instance-00000007 spawned on vCenter or KVM.
I understand that it's not a direct answer regarding API call. However, code bellow
may be placed in 4-5 lines shell script
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# nova show UbuntuSRV01 | grep instance_name
| OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name | instance-0000002f |
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# nova show UbuntuSRV01 | grep hypervisor_hostname
| OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hypervisor_hostname | icehouse2.localdomain |
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# nova hypervisor-show icehouse2.localdomain | grep hypervisor_type
| hypervisor_type | QEMU
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# cat hyper.sh
#!/bin/bash -x
V=`nova show $1 | grep hypervisor_hostname | awk '{print $4}'`
W=`nova hypervisor-show $V |grep hypervisor_type | awk '{print $4}'`
echo $W
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# ./hyper.sh UbuntuSRV01
++ nova show UbuntuSRV01
++ awk '{print $4}'
++ grep hypervisor_hostname
+ V=icehouse2.localdomain
++ nova hypervisor-show icehouse2.localdomain
++ awk '{print $4}'
++ grep hypervisor_type
+ W=QEMU
+ echo QEMU
QEMU
Actually, instance_name is not needed for this query, but might be usefull to dig into details like:-
[root@icehouse1 ~(keystone_admin)]# ssh icehouse2.localdomain

Actually this i have also thought through but what i am looking for if there is any api call which i can use.
another issue if we use the above mentioned approach i would need admin priviledge else this extented attributes like OS-EXT-STS, OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hypervisor_hostname will come blank
