openbsd 6.0 or 6.1 guest on freebsd-12 (current) host
Hello freebsd-virtualization@ [also cc'd to freebsd-current], I'd like to run openbsd 6.0 or 6.1 guest under a 12-current bhyve system. I'd like it to run two cpus, so to use the openbsd smp kernel. I can see, from searching various mailing lists that there have been issues in getting openbsd to boot. Have these issues been fixed? Also, is there a howto for this? I found one here: http://www.allanjude.com/bsd/virtualization-host-bhyve.html but there's no date on the document, it's not on the official freebsd sites and so have no idea if the information is still current. I realise that HardenedBSD has fixed some issues with this, but I can't easily change the host to that OS unfortunately. thanks, -- J. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: bhyve live migration and auto balance
Support for suspend/resume ( prerequisite for migration ) is currently a work in progress ... https://github.com/FreeBSD-UPB/freebsd/tree/projects/bhyve_save_restore This only includes support for Intel systems and VMs with virtio devices at present. Support for AMD systems is next. Support for ZFS+snapshots will come soon after that. Live migration will hopefully come later. -Matthew On 9/4/2017 7:15 AM, Sami Halabi wrote: hello, I had a look at thr wiki but dont know really the state of live migration.. anyone? I also want to ask if there is any ongoing work for clusters of bhyve that auto balances resources, aka cpu and memory usage of vms between different hosts within the same cluster if they have accesd to the same storage?

Have these issues been fixed? > I'm not sure of the exact issue you are referring to but I run a lot of OpenBSD 6.1 hosts under bhyve with GENERIC.MP. You can use either the grub-bhyve style boot or UEFI, both work fine. I have found the chyves framework (it is in packages) good for standing up and managing bhyve guests - with ZFS, especially for a team that are new to the platform. You have to hack the following /usr/local/lib/chyves files: chyves-guest-start chyves-properties chyves-resources to get 6.1 to install and boot (I yet to push those patches upstream). So to answer your question directly, there is currently no known issue in getting bhyve to run OpenBSD 6.1 on Intel or AMD platforms. Enjoy!

The Silicon Debug (SDBG) flag is turned on as a default and this causes the OpenBSD 6.1 .iso to refuse installation. This issue was fixed for the later production Skylake and the Kabylake processors that followed. Look at the CPU flags in your computer. If one of them is SDBG, you won't be able to install OpenBSD 6.1. OpenBSD 6.0 doesn't check for this CPU feature and should install OK. The HardenedBSD project has a fix, but it has not been brought into FreeBSD CURRENT. Intel has provided a fix for the BIOS companies but mine (ASUS) has not updated their BIOS. I have a Kabylake processor and a new motherboard on order and will re-purpose my Skylake sytem.

Re: openbsd 6.0 or 6.1 guest on freebsd-12 (current) host
There is a bug in the early Intel Skylake CPU series. The Silicon Debug (SDBG) flag is turned on as a default and this causes the OpenBSD 6.1 .iso to refuse installation. The '-w' option for bhyve can be used to work around this. later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
