Thanks for the reply.

How to know that the CentOS 7 kerenel is whether PV or HVM?
When I searched about it, I found the following link, where the kernel type
us determined from
the 2 following commands
            1. uname -r
            2. lsmod | grep xen
If both have "*xen*", then it is PV, if lsmod returns something but not in
kernel name then its PV-HVM, else its HVM

>From what I understand, the first command never have "Xen" extension to the
CentOS 7 kernel.
So, can I conclude that there are only 2 types of kernels in case of CentOS
7 onwards, i.e PV & HVM.
