bhyve

Hello. I'm following this guide : https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve because I want to boot and run ubuntu 21.04 hirsute with vm-bhyve. This is what I did right now. [root@lozioma ~]# sysrc vm_enable="YES" [root@lozioma ~]# sysrc vm_dir="/vms/os/linux" [root@lozioma ~]# vm init...

I have two questions regarding using bhyve: 1. Is it possible to add a password to access via VNC (for the "-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600" feature). 2. And, I noticed that if I try to access by a second VNC user/session, nothing shows up until the first user terminates the session...

I notice that there is substantial memory leak after using and shutting down a bhyve VM (in particular, I'm testing with OpenBSD guests). Starting from a freshly booted FreeBSD host (v.13), the Wired memory is about 500 MB, and after running the VM and ... - irregardless of setting the VM to...

I'm now experiencing a strange problem of the "mouse pointer becoming unclickable" inside a bhyve VM. Host OS: FreeBSD 13 bhyve command: (partial) -s 29,fbuf,tcp=192.168.1.72:15900,w=1200,h=1000 \ -s 31,lpc \...

I'm accessing bhyve VMs via VNC with the "-s fbuf" option, and the OpenBSD VM has Xfce installed. Is it possible to copy and paste with bhyve VMs and the FreeBSD host?

Hi I have as of FreeBSD 13 (at last :D) moved my personal virtualisation server from CentOS/KVM over to FreeBSD/Bhyve. Works like charm for all VMs, no matter if they use grub, uefi or bhyveloader. Performance, VLAN:s and everything else works perfect as well. FreeBSD 13 performance is *r e a...

I usually expand my Terminal window to take the full height of the screen. After running a bhyve VM (e.g. OpenBSD) - running and after shutting down the VM - the usuable height of the Terminal screen/window became shortened. How can I prevent this? Note: There is no fbuf in my bhyve option and...

I did some testing and executed a "# poweroff" on the host system. Judging on the speed that the machine shutdown, I don't think the bhyve VMs went through a graceful shutdown. Is there any way to tell bhyve VMs to gracefully shutdown? (I think other virtualizers such as VirtualBox has...

Excuse me if this is a noobish question, but this is the first time I'm using FreeBSD after purchasing a QOTOM and installing pfSense on it. Context: The QOTOM PC I bought for my home office has shiny specs, and I intended to use the spare power to use it as my Kubernetes master (but without...

2 questions: (1) Does the bhyve "-D" option as described as "Destroy the VM on guest initiated power-off." really work? -- I don't see the memory coming back until I call "bhyvectl --destroy --vm=vmname". (2) Is there a command to show/list all running and "un-destroyed" (ie. memory not...

I'm experimenting bhyve with virtualized FreeBSD guests. Host system: FreeBSD 13 with 8 GB or RAM on Intel chip. On installation, there is a message that says ZFS tuning is necessary for using FreeBSD with less than 8 GB of RAM. I tried giving 1 GB to bhyve FreeBSD guests and they seem to be...

I'm now trying nested bhyve virtual machines: Host OS: FreeBSD 13 Guest OS: FreeBSD 13 Yet Another Guest OS inside FreeBSD 13: OpenBSD 6.9 Upon trying to execute the "bhyve" command inside the Guest OS: FreeBSD 13, I get the following: So, is there a way to make it work?

I'm trying to install/configure OpenBSD bhyve guests, by following these instructions. Host OS: FreeBSD 13 Guest OS: OpenBSD 6.9 First, when I connect to the VM using VNC, I notice that it actually uses a different console. The text which are output the KDE Konsole terminal console is different...

My host is FreeBSD 13, and I'm now configuring bhyve to run a FreeBSD guest (version 13 as well). If I put "-s 30,xhci,tablet", the mouse does NOT move at all. However, if I remove that above, the mouse pointer moves BUT not synchronized with the one inside the VM. What are the solutions -...

I'm trying to run FreeBSD with KDE or Xfce inside a bhyve virtual machine. The bhyve command executed to start the VM has "-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600 -s 30,xhci,tablet" included. From within the VM, I tried to execute "startx" and I'm hit with the following error: (EE) Cannot run...

I've launched an OpenBSD instance within bhyve. I'm testing if it is possible to run OpenBSD's virtualization (vm) by executing this command (from within OpenBSD): and it returned nothing. So, it is possible to set bhyve to to enable OpenBSD to run virtualization?

Hi, I have one virtual machine that returns "dataset does not exist" when I run vm info. The configuration file of this vm is in /zroot/vms/windows7, there are two files device.map and windows7.conf. device.map (hd0) /datos/vms/Windows7/os_disk (hd1) /datos/vms/Windows7/datos_disk...

I've tried a x86_64 guest Linux on Bhyve and it works. But x86 guest hangs at the virtio-blk message from the Linux kernel during boot. Might anyone know the reason for this? This's my guest bootstrapper: grub-bhyve -m device.map -r cd0 -M 196M -S linuxguest bhyve -AHPDHwS -c 1 -m 196M -l...

I want to pass my WLAN card to bhyve VM. Host is FreeBSD 13.0-RC5, tried on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux guests. WLAN card is M.2 device and works on host. Passing another PCIe card (PCIe x4 LAN) to guests works. WLAN card on host: Apr 7 12:11:55 hostname kernel: ath0: <Atheros AR946x/AR948x>...
