Corral VM to FreeNAS 11

[MExcel]

Hi FreeNAS community,

I would like some help importing my Corral VM into FreeNAS 11 please.

I was using Corral for a short time and created a Ubuntu VM (16.04) from which to do backups of other machines on our network. Like everyone I recently moved to FreeNAS 11, I did this by going back to a previous boot environment of 9.10 and then up to 11 on the STABLE branch.

I have the VM os volume at:

Code:

/dev/zvol/Backup01/vm/BackupPCServer/os

I have tried:

Code:

/usr/sbin/bhyveload -m 2G -d /dev/zvol/Backup01/vm/BackupPCServer/os BackupPCServer

however I received a warning saying

Code:

"can't load kernel" 

and after trying to remove the resources:

Code:

/dev/vmm/BackupPCServer

using iohyve I now receive the error message:

Code:

"vm_setup_memory: Invalid argument"

Thanks for any help you can give.


My machine specs are:

Supermicro X10SLL-F with Dual Gigabit LAN
E3 1220 V3 Intel Quad-Core Xeon 3.1GHz 8Mb Cache 5GT/s 80Watts
4x 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 ECC CL11 DIMM with Thermal Sensor
LSI 9211-4i Host Bus Adaptor 4i (Non RAID)
6x 8TB Seagate Energy-Efficient High-Density Archive Hard Drive
10GbE Dual-Port RJ45 Server Adapter - Intel X540T2

Does your processor pass the verification tests in http://doc.freenas.org/11/vms.html?

If it does, note the instructions from the Note in that chapter:

VMs from other virtual machine systems can be recreated for use in FreeNAS®. Back up the original VM, then create a new FreeNAS® VM with virtual hardware as close as possible to the original VM. Binary-copy the disk image data into the zvol created for the FreeNAS® VM with a tool that operates at the level of disk blocks, like dd(1). For some VM systems, it is best to back up data, install the operating system from scratch in a new FreeNAS® VM, and restore the data into the new VM.

Thanks for the reply.

It does pass the tests (EPT and UG both are there).

I understand the two options but it does seem as though there may be GRUB support in 11.1

Am i right in thinking this would solve the issue and I could boot the Corral VM in FreeNAS 11.1?
