bhyve

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 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 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...

Good Evening. :) Are You Web Developer? Working in Computer Service? Got only one IP address? You can start your own hosting server that will expand your offer. Most of important things here are OpenVPN for Jail and bhyve SSH access and HAProxy for SNI extension based routing. Your...

Hello, I'm running some VMs on bhyve and when I'm using top on the host, every VM shows as a bhyve process, is there anyway to get a more precise/informative designation? (note: I'm using sysutils/vm-bhyve to handle/manage my VMs)

Hi I'm trying to use the bhyve as a platform for virtual machines and have hit the following issue: - if some heavy process of the host grabs CPU resources (e.g. rebuilding some port) - virtual machines start slowing down. I mean not only slow response of guest systems but real slowdown of them...

Is there a way to use a virtual network interface on a physical FreeBSD host? TL;DR - yes - use epair interfaces. Background: I have this new and quite cheap laptop (Lenovo ideapad 530S-14ARR). It was on outlet sale, therefore cheap. It doesn't have a wired ethernet interface, and the wireless...

I have a working Windows 10 guest running off an image file (GPT scheme). When I dd it to a USB SSD and try booting off it by running exactly the same bhyve command I get "Boot failed. EFI Hard drive" message. What am I missing? HD=/dev/da0 bhyve .... -s 3,ahci-hd,$HD,sectorsize=512 ...

Hoping to improve bhyve Windows Server disk IO performance I upgraded 11.1-Stable to 12.1-Release by building from source. But after that CrystalDiskMark benchmarks are less than half of the previous. For example, 765 vs 279 MB/s in Q32T1. 12.1 is supposed to include the latest the bhyve update...

Hi! This is an open discussion and I'm mostly curious about your general ideas and thoughts about the subject and a few struggles I'm having on my way. It's going to be a bit wall-of-texty. Sorry about that, I'll try to make it as easily digested as possible :) It's about using small static VM...
