How to check whether a database is on Exadata or not?

edited Mar 6, 2013 12:31PM in Exadata General (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓
We are in the process of migrating a number of databases to Exadata. Is there a way non-Exadata administrators can query v$/x$ tables to tell whether the database is running on Exadata database or not? I understand that the database version is 11.2.0.x and nothing much has changed as far as the core Oracle database binaries.
I could infer from the values in the many IO_CELL% columns in gv$sql/sqlstats - a non-zero value makes it an Exadata database and zero as non-Exadata. Or even querying gv$cell% views. Presence of rows in there make it an Exadata database.

Howdy, Stranger!
