vbox VirtualBox alongside bhyve?

[`Orum]

I've got a FreeBSD server running two guests in bhyve. I want to run a third guest using VirtualBox (as this guest requires features not available with bhyve), but this leads to a problem if acceleration is left enabled: VBoxManage: error: VT-x is being used by another hypervisor (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE). If I disable virtualization on the VirtualBox guest and then try to start it, the host panics. Is there any way to run a VirtualBox guest alongside bhyve guests on the same host?

In the same host yes, at the same time no.

Q: Can I run bhyve and VirtualBox on FreeBSD at the same time?​

A: No

Its not just those two Virt programs. I tried Xen and Bhyve together with same problem. VT-d

Yeah, it's quite an annoyance. I ended up just moving the VirtualBox VM to another server that's not running bhyve, and things are working just fine now. Thanks.
