Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Phil Eaton]

Following up on both the deploy script and my issues running OpenBSD with
virtio drivers.

I still am not able to successfully install OpenBSD with the virtio
drivers, but I was able to convert from fullvirt to paravirt after I had
OpenBSD installed.

I published my deploy script on Github:
https://github.com/eatonphil/linode-deploy-experimental. You can now deploy
OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD on Linode using this script. Each image
supports paravirtualization. Here is a forum post that goes into a little
more detail: https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?f=20=14653.

Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Phil Eaton]

Strictly speaking there is only a small subset of _Linux_ distros that are
supported. To get anything else running you need to manually install them
yourself: https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?f=20=12080. But after
doing this for a long time, I set up a private ftp server to host
filesystem images for FreeBSD and OpenBSD and made a script to automate the
deploy.

This automated deploy is a work in progress (though it does work). Until
I'm able to open it up (as a community project most likely), you'll have to
do the install yourself. In both cases, you won't be able to get official
Linode support for either (among other things, this means backups and
password resets from the Manager won't work). But I'm pushing for that at
some point too and trying to build interest / awareness.

Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Infoomatic]

Hi,

I have not experienced any problems virtualizing OpenBSD with KVM, Xen,
HyperV, VMware.
I have done various performance tests over the years and found KVM to be the
best performing, most stable platform for our environment.
Those non-scientific tests simulated some of our typical workloads - web
platforms (php,js,python), databases, filesystem, running various
stuff in a single VM up to 8 different VMs... they were performed on entry
level server hardware though: maximum 2 CPU sockets, max 128GB
RAM with max 8 SSD/SAS disks.

Haven't tested bhyve yet, but I don't expect it to be faster or more stable
than KVM (if you ignore frequent kernel updates ;-)

regards

Could you provide more details, dmesg?

I'm glad to hear it should be working. I didn't spend a lot of time trying
to get virtio devices working when I couldn't find my disks. But all the
expected devices did 'just work' when I switched to full virt. I'll post a
dmesg later when I get some time.

Also great to hear! Sorry for the misinformation.

Sorta. :) There's a free alpha environment while we're working on a new API
and manager: https://alpha.linode.com.

Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Markus Rosjat]

Hi,

ok it's not nice to ask general things I got it  :(

So basically I like to know what kind of Hypervisors are used out there 
and work for people. With that input I can look more closely into  some 
of the  Options and check out if the fit my needs. I was not fully aware 
that there is a OpenBSD version too. Since I plan to just run OpenBSd 
guest I take a look there too.


In the end I want to figure out which of these options come close to 
things I want to do. So if VMware wants me to pay a shitload of money 
just to get replication without inventing the wheel again to make it 
work on a free version I like to take a look at hypervisor that can do 
it or is at least not that costly.


I hope this explains my question somewhat more :(

sorry for the bad english Im just a german and we are mainly evil then 
skilled at languages :)

What do you mean with "does not yet have full support"?

We have all relevant virtio drivers.

Could you provide more details, dmesg?

Your information is obsolete.

OpenBSD has great Hyper-V drivers. They're awesome.

The only missing one is the PV disk driver and you have to stick with wd(4)
for now.

Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Oliver Marugg]

I use Proxmox for VMs, it is KVM based with possibility for LXC. 
OpenBSD, BSDs in general works as proxmox vms. I use it mainly for 
education purposes.

open for every thing so KVM or BHive are points Ive looked at but 
haven't tried for now.


thanks for the input

Re: Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor

[Phil Eaton]

I have OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) running on Linode VMs (on a KVM host) and it
works well enough. I'm more than hazy on the details, but the issue as far
as I'm aware is that OpenBSD does not yet have full support for virtio. So
I need to use full virtualization for it to recognize my disks and network
devices. Presumably this affects performance, but I haven't gotten into
testing it much and haven't noticed it in my (admittedly light) use so far.

At home I have FreeBSD running on Hyper-V and it works well too. But
FreeBSD has better support for the virtio drivers so I'd expect it to
perform better in both cases.

Disclosure: I work for Linode.

Running OpenBSD on Hypervisor
