bhyve

Backstory: A long time linux user, I tried FreeBSD on digitalocean a few years back. Now I'm to the point where my entire cloud & home infrastructure is FreebSD based- pfsense, FreeNAS, and a FreeBSD application server. Server Specifications: Release: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4 CPU: Intel(R)...

I have recently started working with bhyve setting up virtual servers in my office. So far it works great. Now that it I see how well it works I am regretting not making my file server larger. Is there any way I can just "append" the VM disk file and make it bigger without having to build...

I want to build FreeBSD NanoBSD images in a Bhyve VM. Can anyone speak to the speed hit I will take when compiling under a FreeBSD-CURRENT VM using FreeBSD 11.1 Bhyve host. What is disk throughput like in a VM? Much speed loss from host disk thoughput? I currently use a separate box for...

I've just started using vm-bhyve, and none of vm's have network connectivity. Here's what everything looks like, following the simple example in the vm-bhyve wiki to install a FreeBSD guest with default settings: [peter@orca] /vms/.config# vm switch list NAME TYPE IDENT...

Hello, I use bhyve and have a problem with non-US keymap and the VNC server. This is a bug that was reported at least to FreeNAS and was fixed a few weeks ago according to the bug report here: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/24450 When will this fix come into FreeBSD? How does the process work...

Both host/guest are using FreeBSD 11.1, I created the VM using vm-byhbe. This is host configurationhe host: /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_igb0_ipv6="inet6 2a01:4f8:150:84ec::1 prefixlen 64" ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" ipv6_defaultrouter="fe80::1%igb0" rtadvd_enable="YES" /etc/rtadvd.conf...

Environment: FreeBSD 11.1R, 10Gbx2 Ethernet(LACP), 8GBx2 FC(multipath) I want to build a FreeBSD virtualization cluster with 5+ hosts. Because bhyve doesn't support live migration at this time, Xen(Dom0) is the unique method. The simplest topology looks like: Server2 ... Server9...

I'm trying to assign a public IP to a guest managed by bhyve. My host gave me 2 public IPs to use, which I'll refer to as (to obfuscate the real IP): 111.111.111.111 (host) 222.222.222.222 (webserver vm) The first, 111.111.111.111 is assigned to the host's interface, which has internet...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out to assign a real IP address to a bhyve vm running Ubuntu. (Real IP address means a public facing IP address assigned by the provider.) I add: vm switch add public em0 Then, I should omit: ifconfig_igb0_alias0="17.28.44.219 netmask n.n.n.n" in the rc.conf...

I am very close to getting Centos7 (version 1503) running on FreeBSD 11.1 with bhyve, but I am stuck. I have used the following instructions for installation. Please let me know if you can advice how to address the /dev/mapper/centos-root issue or an alternative way to get Centos7 running in...

After updating my poudriere ports tree, sysutils/rubygem-facter was updated from version 2.4.6 to version 2.5.0. This is causing puppet to hang for 5-10 minutes at Info: Loading facts, but only for my bhyve virtual machines. I'm trying to track down differences between facts that test on eg...

I am running arch Linux guest via bhyve. I already installed xorg-server and xorg-xinit on the guest. But I am not sure which graphic driver I should install and I don't know if I have to install any graphic components at the host as well?

tl;dr - Don't add vmm_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf when trying to play with bhyve on a server using VirtualBox and then forget about it... I'm posting this partly in public celebration of my own stupidity o_O, but mostly because I found a lack of pertinent results when searching the web for...

Hello community of freeBSD I have a project in mind to replace my windows server park. Currently I have a netgear as router and a Windows 2008 server that does AD and windows share. I have for idea to replace the netgear by PFSENSE and the active directory by samba4 for the domain controller...

After restarting FreeBSD11.0p10_amd64 and then connecting to one of the bhyve guest machine for testing purpose I encountered the problem with escaping from the cu command. The following commands do not work. Terminal puts char ~ and new line only without escaping, I use Putty v0.69. ~^D...

Hello everyone Over the course of the last week I tried to install Veeam Endpoint Backup (or rather Veeam Agent for Windows) on a Windows Server 2016 bhyve VM. I let vm-bhyve auto-create a disk for the VM. After installing Windows and installing Veeam Agent for Windows, the SQL Service and the...

Hello everyone I am trying to install Windows Server 2012 R2 (German Eval Version) as a virtual machine with bhyve. File name of the original iso is: Windows-Server-2012-R2-Eval-DE.ISO I followed the instructions at https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Running-Windows. The VM boots but...

I believe this is an old issue, but I experience it in my both bhyve Windows 7 setups on completely different hardware. When accessing bhyve framebuffer via vncviewer (doesn't matter which one) I cannot type, bhyve spits out atkbd data buffer full message with each keystroke. There exists a...

Sometime I encounter the problem with boot UFS in bhyve VM. When I start or restart the guest I think in my mind it starts but just It doesn't start completely. Connection to the console has no effects due to the "black" screen with no console messages. But when I start bhyve VM with console...

Is there a simple way to migrate a virtual machine from ProxMox to Bhyve. In this case i need to migrate a Windows 10 VM. /Jimmy
