bhyve

I added a GPU according to https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/pci_passthru. This shows up as expected, but bhyve complains that "PCI device at 5/0/0 is not using the ppt(4) driver". /boot/loader.conf: kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0" cryptodev_load="YES"...

Most likely I'm missing something obvious, I thought this should be straight forward: # zfs create -V256G -o volmode=dev zroot/ubuntu # gpart create -s gpt /dev/zvol/zroot/ubuntu # gpart: arg0 'zvol/zroot/ubuntu': Invalid argument Then I used sysutils/gdisk, successfully created the...

Hi everyone, I'm running VM-Bhyve with some Windows VMs. Setup is like this article: https://klarasystems.com/articles/from-0-to-bhyve-on-freebsd-13-1/ Will there be a big improvement on performance if the zfs properties atime=off and sync=disabled are set? The article leaves the properties at...

Hey all, Somewhat new to freeBSD here. Apologies in advance if this question is already answered somewhere (I have looked) or if this isn't the right venue. If that is the case, kindly let me know! Anyhow, so I have a FreeBSD 13.1 server hosting a bunch of jails and some Bhyve VMs. I created...

I am using (vm -- utility to manage bhyve virtual machines) to create VMs on ZFS, here is the output of vm info containing the virtual-disk info: But how could I make a raw image? I am currently installing ubuntu 22.04 and would like to create a custom image from the VM to be used in...

In freebsd 13.1 release p1, I have installed bhyve following instructions from this page. a minimal version of debian, the installation went well except that the bridge specified did not work. I could finish installation, reboot the vm, and also could set up a script as outlined in Step 8 of...

So far my little experiment of using FreeBSD for development work has been very interesting and successful in many aspects. However I might be facing a major obstacle: I am developing a TypeScript application that depends on several services (redis, postgres, potentially RabbitMQ in conjunction...

I'm trying to setup some bhyve guests for the first time on my 13.0-RELEASE system but the guests were unable to obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server on my router unless I disabled ipfw. It appears that ipfw was blocking the responses from the DHCP server. Google searches didn't come up...

Hey everyone! I am trying to set up a Linux VM using bhyve for the purpose of running docker on my FreeBSD laptop (which is essential to have due to my development workflow). However when setting up a Linux VM using either Debian or Alpine images, I am unable to get the network working properly...

I'm running bhyve vms that show very bad I/O performance and I'm wondering what factors may be causing this? A couple details: I'm testing with a simple dd if=/dev/random of=test bs=1M status=progress and yes, that's not very scientific. Since I'm seeing many factors worse I/O perf than...

# The thread was opened with the idea of installing Bhyve-server in an old amd server with 13.1 command line, the first few posts relate to the errors / limitations during install in that server. After that I moved on to install in in a desktop with kde5. The errors mentioned in the first few...

I'm using vm to manage virtual machines under FreeBSD-13.0. Start/stop of vm causes this: Jul 3 23:33:15 proviant kernel: tap0: link state changed to DOWN Jul 3 23:33:16 proviant kernel: igb0: link state changed to DOWN Jul 3 23:33:16 proviant kernel: gsm: link state changed to DOWN Jul 3...

Hello. I have problem with local network/internet. I have local network on hq0 (192.168.33.1/25) on this interface is dnsmasq # ifconfig hq0 hq0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500...

As the title says - after upgrading the host from 13.0 to 13.1, it throws an insane amount (~100/sec) of ivhd messages on the host as soon as I start any bhyve vm with passthru network interface (most of them are FreeBSD 13.1). The NICs are intel i350 (4-port), Intel 82580 (4-port), Broadcom...

I am trying to use SR-IOV on my machine with an IX card, but each time i start the vm on the passthrough devices the connections wihci is started on the virtuall function dedicated for the host, the connection hangs and it is not possible to setup the connection back until I reboot. Do anyone...

Hello, I am new to bhyve but I decided to go ahead and try it out. I need a Windows 10 vm for schoolwork and want to make use of bhyve. I've been following this guide completely, though instead of /vm I put the directory in /usr/vm and my vm is named win10. Everything has worked up until the...

I'd like to use Bhyve from virt-manager since its supposed to support Bhyve, but when I open it I'm greeted with the following: Could not detect a default hypervisor. Make sure the appropriate QEMU/KVM virtualization packages are installed to manage virtualization on this host. I can also try...

Hi there, currently I have a FreeBSD 12.3 Server for a school project. The goal of this project is to create a website from which you can create virtual machines. This works atm. The other goal of the project is to create bhyve switches with vlan id's so that the machines with the same vlan id...

I'm trying to use Flutter in my FreeBSD 13 workstation, after finding it cannot run on it (even using linuxulator) I created an Ubuntu 20.04 VM on Bhyve, and installed everything. When I tried to run the emulator it said "Your CPU does not support required features (VT-x or SVM).". The...

Hei, I've been recently playing around with bhyve passthru and wonder if I could passthru a single port of a dual port NIC to a vm. From a logical point of view I guess that should work, since both ports should get their specific pci bus/port assigned. Otherwise, I'm unsure if such dual port...
