So the question is how do I pass to Windows 2016 that the CPU it is using

 That requires nested hypervisor support, which isn't yet in bhyve.

Peter.

Use that instead of the null-install.iso

I'm not sure what people find so difficult about this - Just treat it like it 
was a real Windows machine

1) Do not assign the guest's IP address on the host
2) Do not set the IP in the guest BIOS (I'm not even sure what you mean by this)

As you have found, the virtio-net network adapter has a yellow triangle in 
Windows, because it is not installed. You need to run bhyve but replace the 
Windows ISO with the virtio-net driver ISO, which you can download off the 
Internet; Then install the network driver through VNC. The guest has a 
"virtio-net" interface which is created by bhyve - This has nothing to do with 
your motherboard and you do not need to install any of the motherboard or 
physical interface drivers in the guest.

Once you have the virtio driver installed, you will have a "Redhat VirtIO" 
network adapter in Windows, and you can assign an IP/Netmask/Gateway to this 
just as you normally would in Windows.

Forget about the Linux machines. They have the virtio-net driver built in, so 
you can just configure eth0 out-of-the-box like normal. If you've configured 
their IP addresses on the bhyve host then that's not really the correct way to 
configure things, even if it doesn't actually break anything; The IP address 
should be configured inside the guest OS.

I'm not sure what people find so difficult about this - Just treat it like it 
was a real Windows machine

1) Do not assign the guest's IP address on the host
2) Do not set the IP in the guest BIOS (I'm not even sure what you mean by this)

As you have found, the virtio-net network adapter has a yellow triangle in 
Windows, because it is not installed. You need to run bhyve but replace the 
Windows ISO with the virtio-net driver ISO, which you can download off the 
Internet; Then install the network driver through VNC. The guest has a 
"virtio-net" interface which is created by bhyve - This has nothing to do with 
your motherboard and you do not need to install any of the motherboard or 
physical interface drivers in the guest.

Once you have the virtio driver installed, you will have a "Redhat VirtIO" 
network adapter in Windows, and you can assign an IP/Netmask/Gateway to this 
just as you normally would in Windows.

Forget about the Linux machines. They have the virtio-net driver built in, so 
you can just configure eth0 out-of-the-box like normal. If you've configured 
their IP addresses on the bhyve host then that's not really the correct way to 
configure things, even if it doesn't actually break anything; The IP address 
should be configured inside the guest OS.

I don't really understand, what do you mean by virtual BIOS. If you
boot up Windows, configure the IP Address, etc from there. Follow this
guide to do so: https://ittutorials.net/microsoft/windows-server-2016/s

All right, let me repeat what I am up aginst.

I do set the IP configuration in the virtual BIOS.

However when the Win2016 VM boots it sees

1) the localhost

2) its assigned IP address

3) A yellow triangle where the ethernet adaptor is.

This makes very little sense. You usually specify the netmask and default route 
when you assign Windows an IP address.
And how have you assigned the guest an IP address if it has no network 
interface?

>What must I do to convince this box that is it on a switch

On the bhyve host it should be configured just like any other bhyve virtual 
machine. The guest should have a virtio-net device, which is linked to a tap 
interface on the host. That tap interface should be bridged with whichever 
physical network adapter you want the guest connected to.

However, I think I mentioned in a previous message that Windows does not have 
the virtio-net drivers by default. You need to boot the guest with the 
virtio-net driver ISO attached and install the driver. You should see the 
interface in Device Manager flagged as not installed/working.


Just one other thing to add to this. I'm not sure if this is the case here, but 
it's something I've seen a few times now.
When configuring IP addresses, etc for a guest, this should be done -inside- 
the guest.
Do not assign a guest's IP address to the host, or to the tap interface.
Bhyve works just like any other hypervisor. IP settings are done in the guest 
as if it was a real machine, the host just acts like a switch.

Hi,

first of all, could you please clarify if you use VirtualBox, bhyve or
any other virtualization platform?
Additionally, could you please share, how did you configured your
network for the VMs?
What do you use for DHCP Server? Is it configured properly?
Thank you very much!

​As mentioned, I'm using vm-bhyve to insulating me from the learning curve
of "pure bhyve". https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve

A few more details about my setup.

FreeBSD 11-stable (reguired for vnc graphics to work with UEFI guests)

Relevant installed packages:
vm-bhyve
bhyve-firmware
grub2-bhyve
uefi-edk2-bhyve
uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm

​While vm-bhyve is running in a zpool, the guests are using disk image
files.

The following template allowed me to install LinuxMint through graphic VNC
interface.

​guest="linux"
uefi="yes"
cpu=1
memory=2G
graphics="yes"
graphics_res="1600x1200"
graphics_wait="yes"
xhci_mouse="yes"
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch="public"
disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0.img"
grub_run_partition="1"

​vm create -t mint -s 30G mint
vm install mint​ linuxmint-18-cinnamon-64bit.iso (32bit would not install
as a UEFI guest)
vm list (shows running bhyve guests and indicates the IP and port that VNC
is running on for this guest)
vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5900

Top-level listing of the vm zpool shows the layout which includes a
.template and .iso directory to collect your configs and install isos. Nice
clean setup.

[root: /vm]# ls -l
total 171
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   5 Jul 20 10:01 .config
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  10 Oct 24 12:10 .iso
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  17 Oct 24 11:56 .templates

(NOTE: still trying to get a working MacOS guest running...)

Let me give you my setup.

No Zpool here.

I am running FreeBSD 11 UEFI on x86_64.

I have set up some non-UEFI guest successfull , 

Fedora, Centos and Ubuntu.

If it the UEFI part using a non-zpool environment 

that I am trying to wrap my head around.

Smilir to Windows, I did install Fedora using 
UEFI but then 
could not go to the 
second stage, i.e. booting into the VM.

Hence I do need to understand how to this with my environment using
purely bhyve.

​Just to chime in quickly on this thread... I am a big fan of vm-bhyve. It
has made it much easier to sort bhyve out in general and get through some
of these new options for supported guests.

Regarding Linux and UEFI, much of this also applies there. I've
successfully installed a LinuxMint guest. I will offer that after the
install, the boot process hung at the EFI. After exiting from the Shell>
prompt that eventually appears, it is possible to navigate the UEFI bios
settings to pick a bootable device. Only after rerunning 'grub2-install'
was I able to have a Linux guest that would boot without fiddling.

I will look into the iohyve , saw that last night.

Does this also apply to UEFU BSDs / Linuxes ?

As long as you have the fbuf device specified you can connect to the IP address 
of the bhyve host using VNC to view the "physical" guest console and watch it 
boot. Usually with Windows you'd then use the VNC console to log in and set up 
permanent RDP access.

One other issue is that Windows doesn't support the virtio-net network device 
by default.  The easiest way to get this working is to boot the guest with the 
virtio driver ISO attached instead of the Windows install disk (once Windows is 
installed and working). You can then install the driver for the network 
interface from the CD using the VNC console.

Depending on what you are doing you may find it easier to use something like 
iohyve/chyves/vm-bhyve/vmrc that handles all the raw bhyve commands for you.

Well all right did follow https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/UEFI


My next question is after the initial install is done,
how do I followup on the next step , i.e. to see if the VM is booting.

Not sure if anyone's replied directly to you -

1) Make sure you are running at least 11-RELEASE

2) Use an "off-the-shelf" Windows install CD

3) Add the following to your bhyve command

-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600,wait
-s 30,xhci,tablet

4) Run bhyve and then use a VNC client to connect and install using the normal 
Windows GUI

Something is wrong with your autounattend.xml file.


 Still working on the 2k16 unattend file. Unfortunately things have 
changed from TP5 in a non-obvious way :(


 A workaround is to do a GUI install.
