Hi Felipe, I'm running OpenBSD VMWare guests without problem, both as Firewall, IPSec VPN and FTP/SFTP servers. If you plan to run H.A systems with CARP, just be sure to enable "promiscuous mode" on the carp interfaces, both on the VM and the Hypervisor side.
Everything else you can let the default options, I have both 'vic' and 'em' interfaces without problem. regards, Fabio Almeida On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 1:50 PM, Felipe Gomes <felan...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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 outdated.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?
