Hi, I posted some rc.d scripts that I am using to boot a BHyve VM and send the output to a serial console using the /dev/nmdm driver:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2014-January/002040.html It works quite well. There is some things I would like to improve, and would like some advice on the best way to do it. (1) If the VM was destroyed with bhyvectl --destroy --vm ${VM_NAME}, then I do not want to automatically restart the VM in the script. User should manually: service bhyvevm start (2) If the VM was powered down, via shutdown -p, or halt -p, then in my script I do not want to restart the VM in the script. User should manually: service bhyvevm start (3) If the VM was rebooted via "reboot" or "shutdown -r", then I *do* want the script to restart the VM. I think if I change my start_vm.sh script to do something like: ( while [ -e /dev/vmm/${VM} ]; do /usr/sbin/bhyve -c 16 -m 8G -A -H -P -g 0 -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 1:0,lpc -s 2:0,virtio-net,${TAP} -s 3:0,virtio-blk,${IMG} -l com1,${CONS_A} ${VM}" done ) & then this might cover cases (1) and (3), but what will cover case (2)? Thanks for any advice. -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
