bhyve

Hi everyone, For those who use bhyve, do you use a "management framework" for bhyve too? For example, iohyve, chyves, by hand/none, something else? Bob

Hi, I'm wondering how I can install centos using a kickstarter file under bhyve. The way I would normally do it is bake the ks.cfg into the iso file and edit isolinux.cfg adding append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS-7 inst.ks=cdrom:/dev/cdrom:/ks.cfg Since bhyve uses grub2...

The issues described below probably have discussed, however I couldn't find actual solutions or good workarounds. Are there anything new on them? When bhyve runs Windows 7 as a guest with framebuffer enabled: 1. X mouse cursor does not coincides with Windows cursor. Abruptly moving it beyond...

I am having trouble with setting up reliable networking for my bhyve host. My preferred configuration is: FreeBSD 11.0 host and guests. 2 10gbe adapters on the host (ix0 & ix1) combined into a link aggregation group (lagg0) which is on a vlan trunk (lagg0.20) So in this configuration...

Does anybody have experience with this? If I have a physical disk with Windows 7 installed, can I just use its device node for bhyve? I understand that I'll need to install virtio-net drivers in Windows. What else? The generic VGA adapter doesn't need a driver. Windows may not like the hardware...

Hi all This is the first time I could not resolve an issue by checking the information that is somewhere in forums or handbooks, so I really hope for your help on this: I have a hardware machine that runs release 11p6. The filesystem is ZFS on two SSDs in mirror mode. On this machine I have 4...

Hello! I've encountered a strange problem. At 3 am mail server (bhyve guest) crashed with 100% CPU usage. After hard reset in single user mode I had the following inconsistency file system. # fsck -fy ** /dev/vtbd0p2 ** Last Mounted on / ** Root file system ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes...

Because of several reasons I must install a centos7 virtual machine on a zfs filesystem on freebsd 11 (It must be centos, there is no other option for that) Furthermore I need to be able to send a ZFS snapshot of the virtual machine to a remote backup system on a regular base. Which means that...

Hello all... I have a question about bhyve, i am thinking about using FreeBSD on a small home server system. I have one question, i know about bhyve and i would like to know if it is possible to use UEFI boot inside the VM on a AMD A8? (latest generation AMD supports RVI AMD-v etc.) I could not...

Good morning everyone! I just got my X8DTT-F Dual CPU and Installed Intel X5550 on it, but when I install Iohyve it says I need a 5600 Series CPU UG Support needed ( VMX Unrestricted Mode ), and I'm eying on Intel X5660. What I'm confused about is, isn't 5500 series also supposed to be...

Hello! I have a lot of bhyve guests (FreeBSD 11 and one Windows 10). Very often maybe once a day averagely (after upgrade to 11.0-RELEASE) my guests freeze with very high CPU usage 95%-105% (changing on real time on hypervisor). I can't even connect through console. I haven't still reported...

Hello! I created bridge0 (172.16.0.1) device with few tapX network devices (172.16.0.2-X) (bridged together by bridge0) for bhyve vms. Then I created NAT (pf.conf), that solves networking via wlan0 (wifi card). Why? Because simple bridging doesn't work with wlan0/wifi interfaces (NAT works)...

When I run bhyve (FreeBSD guests) the following errors occured. bhyve -c 1 -m 1G -A -H -P -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 1:0,virtio-net,tap0 -s 2:0,virtio-blk,/data/vm.img -s 31,lpc -l com1,/dev/nmdm0A vm Unhandled ps2 mouse command 0xe1 Durng vm boot. module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa...

I have a problem with Windows 10 Anniversary update on bhyve. When I try to update, installer reports too low memory! (At least 2GB required) I've set 8GB, task manager shows 8GB, available is 7GB. Is this the problem with bhyve? I have Hyper-V as well and there wasn't any problem with the...

Hello! I've tried to run Windows10Pro on bhyve. I've used https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows as good guide but after running installation as below sudo bhyve \ -c 1 \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 3,ahci-hd,/data/windows.img \ -s 4,ahci-cd,/data2/Windows10Pro/win10x64pl.iso...

Hello, I'm currently running a server based on FreeBSD 10.3. I'm using jails to separate all the running services. Since I only have one public IPv4 address, I use PF and a nginx-proxy to redirect to the specific jails inside the NAT. My plan is to use 11.0 and it's enhanced bhyve features to...

Since FreeBSD 11 is here, I am tempted to simplify our server setup, and use Bhyve also for all jail needs. I would not mind exchanging a small percentage of available CPU for more simplicity, but does it make sense to standardise on Bhyve vs Jails, in order to simplify setup and workflow? In...

Hi, I would like to introduce a new FreeBSD-based distro: ClonOS ( http://clonos.tekroutine.com/ site is underconstruction ). Currently, FreeBSD is well proven as a base for routers (pfSense, OPNSense, BSDRP) and NAS (FreeNAS, zfsGuru, Nas4Free). However, FreeBSD-based solutions are almost...

Hi guys! Any notable difference on choosing socket 1151 for FreeBSD vm-bhyve? I want to be able to use: PCI Passthrough MSI / MSI-X vm-bhyve My setup is raidz3 SSD. Will ZFS Raidz3 SSD's benefit more in socket 1151 (Skylake)? Here are the difference between the two. Aside from Socket 1150...

Hello, How can I configure my network to achieve this? Probably it's simple, but I couldn't figure it out. The simplest case is when I have 2 bhyve guests, one on tap0, another on on tap1. I'd like those guest OS's to see each other having IP addresses in the same range. Thanks!
