Folks, I've been trying to search for more information on OpenBSD as a VMWare guest, but I wasn't able to find much... and the information is pretty much outdated.
What are the recommendations for OpenBSD 5.8 (amd64) as a guest on VMware 5.5? Guest Operating System: should I pick "Other (64bit)" or FreeBSD? How does OpenBSD work with "virtual sockets" and "cores per virtual socket"? What is the best NIC? E1000, E1000E, VMXNET2 ENHANCED or VMXNET3? What is the recommended SCSI Controller? LSI Logic Parallel, LSI Logic SAS or VMware Paravirtual? I'd believe that all of these options work... I just don't know which is more stable or perform better. Any other tips on fine tunning or special setting? I'm planning on migrating a few Soekris boxes to virtual machines. Is this reliable? Is anyone running production OpenBSD servers on VMware? Thanks in advance!
