Re: Any plans to increase the maximum number of virtual CPUs above 16?

2018-11-27 Thread Trent Thompson
Simon, It is possible to go above that limit if you're willing to recompile the VMM kernel module. There has been some discussion as to why this was set to 16 recently ( https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2018-November/006939.html ). Some may experience problems at higher

Vincent, >have my macOS built-in VNC client working with bhyve (right now, only TigerVNC works) If I recall, this is due to null authentication from bhyve fbuf. There does seem to be a patch in phabricator to add simple authentication to bhyve, I'm sure they'd love some testing!

Piotr, Thanks to work from Peter G, bhyve has been patched[1] to fix the PS/2 mouse issue in 9front. With this fixed, I was able to get 9front installed and running from a bhyve virtual machine using virtio-blk emulation. I was even able to set up networking[2] with virtio-net. Using ahci-hd and

High vCPU Counts in bhyve

2016-09-16 Thread Trent Thompson
Good day to all! I was recently given the hint that I could edit vmm.h to allow for more than 16 vCPUs in bhyve, so I did just that to see what would happen. I understand it's not supported, just wanted to try it out. When trying to boot FreeBSD 12-CURRENT with anything up to 25 vCPUs the guest

Jordan, I've attempted this in the past, and got to an Apple boot screen [1] using the Clover "Hackintosh" bootloader and Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. However, depending on the drivers used [2], the instance will either "blow up" (crash), or just sit there and hang. After creating the Clover USB

Fehmi, I noticed in your forum post that you were trying to get a DHCP lease on your bhyve VM. Personally, I set my VM's over WiFi statically. I have written a quick guide to set this up on the iohyve wiki. It should work even if you do not use iohyve.

George, I've had limited success in running Linux guests using UEFI. When using the NON-CSM firmware, I can manually edit the GRUB menu to force a serial console to be used. I can then boot into the install environment and get the distro installed to the hard disk. After installation is done, I
