Good Evening to everybody!
.. just to share my experience ..
With the integration of bhyve in to illumos and the packaging of the
needed into Openindiana,
we have besides the elderly kvm and the up-to-date virtualbox a third
modern virtualization method: bhyve.
If you want to try it out and are using VirtualBox:
You can install both bhyve and virtualbox,
but you can use only one of them.
Once a bhyve vm is startet, Virtualbox vms will not start until the
next reboot,
because the bhyve vmm kernel module does not unload
(in other words: i had no luck trying it :-)
My first ubuntu vm was easily set up in following the instructions here:
https://omnios.org/info/bhyve_kvm_brand
Someone interested in PCI passthru might want to have a look here:
https://www.pbdigital.org/omniosce/bhyve/openbsd/2020/06/08/bhyve-zones-omnios.html
After some fiddling i got a Win7 vbox-vm to work on bhyve:
1) dladm create-vnic -l e1000g4 vnic1
zfs create -V 32G home2/vm/Win7vol1
2) Convert vm disk:
a) VBoxManage clonemedium disk Win7.vhd win7d1.vmdk --format VMDK
b) /usr/bin/amd64/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw win7d1.vmdk win7d1.raw
c) dd if=win7d1.raw of=/dev/zvol/rdsk/home2/vm/Win7vol1 bs=512
3) i had to switch it from legacy to uefi mode, by re-partitioning,
repair startup with win7 installation iso ....
if your vm is using UEFI you're lucky
In case of boot problems read here:
https://www.jongibbins.com/solving-uefi-boot-problems-on-bhyve-freenas-vm/
4) Install network driver via virtio-win-0.1.185.iso
->
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.185-2/
->
https://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/howto-windows-10-bhyve-w-freebsd-11/
Nothing special in the zone cfg but:
...
add attr
set name="diskif"
set type="string"
set value="ahci"
end
...
..which might be renoved if you install the corresponding Windows
drivers - i did not try it yet.
*Thanks* to all the active developers for giving us this great OS !!!
Happy trying!
Stephan

Hello!
I have a (confguration?) problem with the VNC handling.
Initial problem: no keyboard with vnc, mouse works
If i use the default vnc socket, Keyboard events are not recognized by
my Win10 bhyve zone , tested with several vnc clients
(socat -d -d -d -d showed transfer of bytes when a key was pressed:

Good news:
When i start bhyve via command line with the settings
...
-s 30:0,fbuf,vga=off,tcp=0.0.0.0:5905,wait \
-s 30:1,xhci,tablet \
...
VNC works well as expected.
So i am trying to enable the VNC network listener via zonecfg like this:
...
add attr
set name="vnc"
set type="string"
set value="on"
end
add attr
set name="vnc-port"
set type="string"
set value="5905"
end
...
but this does not work at all. :-/
Any hints are appreciated!
Stephan
