CFT: PetiteCloud's support for Linux running under bhyve
First of all what's new in 0.2.3: * Full support for Linux as a guest on the bhyve-linux hypervisor * Fixed all build system bugs we know of * PetiteCloud.org has made a link to -virtualization@ as our preferred support channel * The screen shots on PetiteCloud.org have been added to, reorganized, and more focus given to what instances can do instead of just making them. Note the DevStack screenshots form the core of a forthcoming tutorial series on getting OpenStack up and running under PetiteCloud as a way of learning OpenStack and as a study aid for OpenStack certification. What we need tested (see known bugs for a list of issues we already know about): * Which Linux distributions (if any) fail to install? * Do all commands work in all cases? Stuff that we would like to know if anyone is willing to help with: * Making it so a Linux guest can start on boot (i.e. start headless) * Making sure that more OpenStack components than just DevStack do in fact run on PetiteCloud correctly If you are a current user, please note that we will be changing file formats during the next few tertiary versions. (The new file format will not change, though it will eventually be just one of several standard formats to be supported in the long term. On the other hand, the current file format will be phased out.) ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
RFC: Changes to handbook on virtualization
A few weeks ago we volunteered to add some new material, primarily about bhyve, to the section on virtualiation in the FreeBSD handbook. You can see our nearly-final draft (pending any comments from the list, and pending the repair of VirtualBox so it can work with FreeBSD 10) at: http://www.petitecloud.org/handbook.jsp We would appreciate comments, especially any corrections or suggested clarifications regarding bhyve. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

For each guest instance, the web UI now displays only a name, cpu count, RAM and disk space. All values that have been hidden (such as network interface) are now autoassigned by petitecloud. * It is now physically impossible to enter incorrect data when creating instances. All resource limits are enforced passively by constraining pull-down values. * Prefered disk location and prefered install cd location are now on the settings panel. NOTE: The old /usr/local/etc/petitecloud/settings and /usr/local/etc/petitecloud/instances are incompatible with 0.1.7. It is recommended you remake any instances to reflect this fact. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
CFT: PetiteCloud 0.1.3
Version 0.1.3 of PetiteCloud (a front end for bhyve) has been released. We would very much appreciate feedback from anyone inclined to test it. PetiteCloud can be downloaded (as a FreeBSD port) from http://petitecloud.org/port-0.1.3.tar.gz . New Features: * All startup initializations (including loading kernel modules and ifconfig's) are now 100% internal. Only one line needs to be added manually to /etc/rc.conf to start petitecloud at boot time. bootloader.conf needs no modification. * Setting screen added (password and bridged interface are the two current settings available) Bug Fixes: * Fixed wrong assignment of tap on startup * Fixed need for double password entry Instructions can be found in the README file. The user interface is still usable only by experienced sysadmins. (For example, you need to know what a network interface is.) Future versions of PetiteCloud will hide some of these details, making PetiteCloud more accessible to a wider range of users, and will have better input validation, etc. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

We used Phenom II for bhyve port on AMD which is 2+ years old and has RVI and nRIP support. I'm sorry to have to ask this, but what is nRIP? (I tried Googling nRIP virtualization and similar strings but turned up nothing relevant. The closest I could find was a few mentions of RIP, apparently meaning Instruction Pointer Register or relative instruction pointer.) ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
