Description of problem:
- Customer is attempting to write a Finish script where it detects which hardware platform the system is being provisioned on (in his case VMware and bare metal on HP ProLiant ) in order to install the right support software (VMware Tools vs ProLiant Support Pack)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)
Red Hat Satellite 6.1.5
Actual results:
No such supported Marco currently.
Expected results:
There should be marco defined for foreman to detect which hardware platform the system is being provisioned on
Additional info:
Checked in Foreman: http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/templatewriting there is no such supported Marco.

I've closed the upstream bug because there is macro with the desired behavior. This macro is called "provider" and it's at Host::Managed object.
So if have a @host that is running at Libvirt resource, you can call "@host.provider" and it returns "Libvirt". So with this macro, we can prepare simple if condition for desired case:
<% case @host.provider %>
<% when "BareMetal" %>
echo "Host is running at own BareMetal hardware"
<% when "VMware" %>
echo "Host is virtualized by VMware"
<% end %>
This macro is at Host::Managed class since that class was created (https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/d7611b242760bffdd801a63dd4d3e63533ccfa52/app/models/host/managed.rb#L55). That means this macro is included in Foreman since version 1.2.0-RC1 and in Satellite since version 5.7.
