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outdated.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!
It runs just fine for me. I use "Other (64bit)" and change the NICs to
vmxnet3. Everything else remains the default.
