Hello, I originally asked this on the FreeNAS forums and was directed here. I'm
not sure if this is a FreeNAS issue, a bhyve issue, or a me doing something
wrong issue.
My processor (W3550) supports virtualization but does not have unrestricted
guest capability. According to the documentation
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization-host-bhyve.html) it sounds
like I should still be able to run VMs as long as they only have one vCPU but I
still get the error. According to this post
(https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/31338) it sounds like this is only true
for FreeBSD VMs but the source provided doesn't talk about number of cores.
Can someone confirm under what conditions a VM can be run without unrestricted
guest?
I can't remember exact, but I believe unrestricted guest is also
required for UEFI/CSM ( BIOS ) support. If that's true, you may still be
able to use bhyveload or grub2-bhyve to boot single vCPU VMs, but not
UEFI. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in to correct me
if I'm misleading you.
