I run multiple VMs using VMware Fusion. VMware has *nix support in their
Workstation product.

Re: Best VM setup for FreeBSD

[TJ]

I have been looking into VirtualBox.

My biggest hurdle at the moment is getting multiple hosts on one machine 
and setting up the VRDE to use different ports.


I have also tried qemu and was having vnc issues too.

Hi guys,
i am looking to setting up some virtual FreeBSD servers.

I run a run a network that only has FreeBSD hosts and i want to setup a few
test boxes but would be much easier if i could virtualise them.

I know there is bhyve in CURRENT but it is still young and wanted something
tried and true, the FreeBSD handbook suggest VirtualBox, but there are also
things like qemu and xen.

What is the best and easiest to manage?

I have only ever used EXSi before but the ESXi client is not available for
*nix so it makes managing a bit more difficult.

Thanks

Virtualbox + iscsi + ZFS snapshotting = a pretty good time overall.
