vmware

Hello, Recently I have migrated 2 firewalls in CARP setup from OpenBSD to FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE on vmware VMs (ESXi 6.5) with E1000 interfaces. Both hosts are with 10Gbit interfaces connected to on single 10Gbit switch. The CARP setup is working fine during the day but during the night I got...

Hello, I have a physical FreeBSD server I installed using ZFS on root. To ease maintenance I'd like to move it into a virtual machine (VMware ESXi), but since virtualizing ZFS is not recommended, I would like to convert it to UFS. Here's my plan so far, can anyone confirm whether I am on the...

Hello, I've been trying to get a USB drive passed through to a FreeBSD 11.2 VM, but it doesn't work. The kernel logs show a USB SHORT_XFER error that it ignores the device. The same pass-through configuration works fine on a Debian VM and a Windows 10 VM. I found a post that someone inserted a...

I thought I'd try a shortcut, rather than build from scratch, so I downloaded, unpacked and made some guesses at (virtual) hardware for the image from https://www.freebsd.org/where.html for vmware. Booted up, logged in, network is working, but I'm wondering if there is a guide of any kind...

Hello, I try to setup a FreeBSD 11.2 with Openbox as a VMware Fusion guest but I struggle with the virtual mouse and the keyboard layout. Here are the commands I use: https://gist.github.com/arthurwhite/cc3b9c77f1c4d712bd281abbdfcf0199 More specifically, the X11 configuration: Section...

Hi, I am moving all my work environment from Linux/Debian to FreeBSD, and I got almost all working, and working well ! Still I have to solve some minor issues as the following one. My configuration is: FreeBSD 11.1 is running into a VMWare virtual machine, OSX is the host. VMWare shares two...

We are using a Freebsd 11.0-RELEASE-p9 server as an iSCSI storage backend for a vmWare ESXi 6 cluster. The server is a Dell PowerEdge R620 with an attached md1220 disk enclosure full of SSDs. Those SSDs are setup in mirrored vdevs and a zvol shared over iSCSI with vmWare which has it formatted...

Hello, I have FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 running within VMWare machine and using NAT as networking option. The problem is that pkg-install can randomly stuck during the installation. If I break the installation process and invoke again, it will stuck somewhere else. In really rare case it can even...

Hi! Who can tell how to increase the disk space allocated under /usr/home? # freebsd-version 11.0-RELEASE-p8 # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep zfs zfs_enable="YES" # cat /etc/rc.conf | grep vmw vmware_guest_vmblock_enable="NO" vmware_guest_vmhgfs_enable="NO" vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable="NO"...

This is a PSA to save future travelers some angst. Specifically, TCP connections would stall randomly after transferring a modest amount of data (i.e. >5MB xfer per TCP stream). As mentioned in my Discussion post to the VMware Fusion Forums, after much consternation, hand-wringing, and...

Hi, I have no experience with virtualizing FreeBSD, but I'm looking to convert from one bare metal FreeBSD 8.4 server to two host systems running FreeBSD vms for redundancy. I'll also be virtualizing two windows 2003 instances and possibly an OpenBSD instance. I've pretty much narrowed the...

Anybody knows if there's an port of VMWare Horizon client (aka vmware-view) that's offered on https://view.vmware.com/ ? There's linux port but I'm not finding FreeBSD one anywhere so I guess there's no official support. I would really like to have it on FreeBSD and have searched around for a...

Hi All, I need to install VMware-Horizont-Client on my freebsd, I've downloaded the linux version from here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCLIENTS_LINUX_35_64&productId=421&rPId=9425 But really I don't know if there is a way to run and install it.... I have the...

Hi people, I'm trying to set up internet connection on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE running at VMware VM but, when I try to ping google IPs, I get a 100% loss. Here is my rc.conf. I use default (for vmware) NAT connection and try to route traffic trought gateway ip (192.168.149.2). Please tell me...

Hello, I've been fighting with this issue since a while and I didn't find root cause, or a solution/workaround. If nobody can't help me on this forum I will open a bug ticket. I'm also able to provide any troubleshooting data. My setup: Storage FreeBSD server with ZFS ZVOL -> iSCSI (istgt) ->...

I have FreeBSD 10.3/11 (2 seperate VMs) both have desktops using VMware. I can't move between windows and FreeBSD seamlessly. I have got my xorg.conf setup. But not sure what I am missing.

Hi people, I'm trying to set up a server with FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE on a VMware VM @ OVH (hosting company) but, when I try to ping, I get a "host name lookup failure". It's very strange because I copied /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf from the previous working installation with FreeBSD...

Someone know an workaround to install VMware Tools on FreeBSD 11?

Hi FreeBSD forum Great forum I´am working on a FreeBSD ZFS/NFS storage solutations for VMware. My problem is how to make redundency storage Network between the Storage and vmware (ESXI) host right. I have created a simpel Network diagram (Network.png) (The management Network is no problem :) -...

Hello everyone. I will try to explain my setup as clear as I can. I have a Windows 10 Workstation where I run a FreeBSD VM on VMWare 12. This FreeBSD VM is meant to run multiple Apache/PHP/Wordpress instances on multiple jails. The FreeBSD guest is bridged through the HOST Ethernet NIC, where...
