Windows server 2008 R2 crashes

[wishmaster]

Hi, colleagues!

Guest server works in a bhyve as WSUS server and has 3 disks. One of this disk 
(not system) is used as backup disk for an application.
I have forgotten about this backup scheduler and disk sometimes become full. 
And I have figured out that when disk full, virtual machine crashes.

Command to run bhyve vm:

bhyve -c 3 -p 0:1 -p 1:2 -p 2:3 -s 0,hostbridge -s 
3,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/my_zroot/VM/img/win2008r2/disk0 -s

Just download virtio driver from here 
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.141-1/
Then add this ISO as ahci-cd to your virtual machine, next from Windows go to 
the Hardware Manager and update virtio driver for Network Card.

Yes, Windows 7 is from the same "brunch" as Windows 2008. And I think my 
problem is that hardware server has been installed without UEFI, just in Legacy 
mode.
So, in this situation it is unable run this server in Bihyve with UEFI.

Am I right?

This files are present and without typo as I have copied path and filenames via 
clipboard.
Next I will try with sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm.

I said not clear. I can not reboot hardware server for some reason and 
therefore do not know boot settings: or this is UEFI boot or Legacy.
But problem is in inability to boot the virtual server. After I connect via VNC 
I see this error:

Boot Filed. UEFI Hard Drive

Without parameter "-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd"  
bhyve does not start at all with error

virtual machine cannot be booted.

Migrate from real server to virtual

[wishmaster]

Hi, colleagues.

There is a server running with Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am attempting 
launch this server in virtual environment as a back up. But there is one big 
problem - I can not shutdown this server.
My first step was creating a VHD image with help of Disk2vhd. Then a converted 
this image from VHD to raw image with qemu.
I don't know boot setting of BIOS.

With this command I am unable to start the server.

bhyve -c 2 -s 0,hostbridge -s 3,ahci-hd,/vm/img/disk1.raw -s 
4,ahci-cd,/VM/distro/null.iso -s 10,virtio-net,tap1 -s 
20,fbuf,tcp=192.168.0.254:5900,w=800,h=600,wait -s 21,lpc -l 
bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd -m 6G -H -w windows2

Boot Filed. UEFI Hard Drive

Any ideas?

  Not everyone uses bhyve, so VIMAGE is quite useful when using jails.

 Hello,
 
 please, check the securelevel in your jail. What value does it have?
 
  I use securelevel 2 (in jail only. In host - default), but securelevel does 
not impact to net.inet.ip.fw.enable at all, because this OID is absent in base 
system too.
This happens only if options VIMAGE present in kernel!
