bhyve

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>...

Hi Did someone notice performance degradation of the Bhyve VMs after upgrading to the 12.2? I followed typical flow to upgrade: - freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE - freebsd-update install - reboot - freebsd-update install - delete all ports installed - portsnap fetch update - install...

I've been using iohyve to help manage bhyve instances for a couple of years, but I'd like to explore other options. Is it safe to run multiple management systems on one host (iohyve in addition to, say, cbsd or vm-bhyve), or is there a strategy for migrating guests from one to another? Is there...

Hello, Is there a way to send key strokes / key inputs to a VM? Thanks :)

As "FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE Release Notes" shows: Does this only support FreeBSD guests? On the following guests with virtio-blk+zvol backends, I tested whether the free space can be reclaimed automatically after deleting some files: 1. FreeBSD 12.2R UFS: Yes 2. FreeBSD 12.2R ZFS: Yes 3. CentOS...

EDIT: 17MAR2021 I would like to make a quick note showing how I solved this. I actually noticed my mistake after reading reading this forum post. I never allowed my vm-bhyve interface vm-public through my firewall. Because my default setting is to simply block everything, my VMs weren't...

I know the scheme like this can be implemented: /-------------------------\ | KVM on Linux Host | | ------------------- | | | FreeBSD guest | | | | ------------- | | | | | bhyve guest | | | | | ------------- | | | ------------------- |...

I am having some difficulty getting vm-bhyve working. Actually, I am having difficulty getting bhyve to work at all, but I opted to try vm-bhyve because it seems easier to use and manage compared to the native tools. I am trying to run a Linux guest (I have tried Ubuntu and Fedora) using...

My scenario: I'm building a home firewall/router on an Intel NUC. Host OS if FreeBSD 12.2 and I installed pfsense in a bhyve guest. I want to build a "router on a stick". I have a managed switch and plugged in my DSL modem into a vlan port. The NUC is connected to a trunk port. I created 2...

After upgrading to 12.2-RELEASE networking is not working for my bhyve VMs. In 11.4, I had daemonized the launching of the VMs using daemon -rft in /etc/rc.local. Oddly in 12.2, the VMs come up and are accessible with VNC but not over the network, and I am unable to browse the web or ping...

Hello. I'm using bhyve on FreeBSD 12.1. but if i start Windows Server 2012 R2 or other vms, It works but it crashes after 1~2 hours automatically. I'm using ZFS. my hdd images are at /root/vms and I made it with truncate -S 32G vm_01.img. bhyve \ -c 3 \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s...

Hello everyone, I am using FreeBSD as a host system and as a guest inside a bhyve-VM. Unfortunately I do no longer have access to the root password of the guest. (Wrote it on a piece of paper and left it in a different country. Due to Corona I cannot go there atm.) The virtual machine is based...

I'm trying to boot a Debian disk image and get it running using bhyve within a jail. When I execute this command (inside the jail): it causes a "vm_create: Device not configured" error. I dived deeper into the vmrun.sh file and inserted the following code: just before: The printout is...

Hello, I'm running a FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE server that hosts few bhyve VMs. The network config is like this: ixl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e507bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,...> ether ... inet MY.PUBLIC.IP.ADDR netmask 0xffffffc0...

Hello! I have been searching high and low and haven't found a satisfactory answer to my question, so I decided to bring it here and see what advice is out there. Currently this machine is running FreeBSD 12.1 as the daily driver. For my class I need to have a Windows machine. I grabbed a...

Hello I have a 8 core CPU with HT support which gives me 16 threads. Earlier I used VirtualBox and it says "do not assign to a VM more cores than you have physically". I.e. for my case - no more than 8 cores should be assigned to a guest(s). Is it the same for the bhyve? Or I can safely assign...

A few weeks ago, I was new to bhyve and had pretty hard time to install Windows Server 2019 on FreeBSD 12.1R + bhyve. However, I could manage to install it and would like to share the how-to because there's little information available on it. Any suggestions on modification, additional...
