Create Linux VM

[ecatanzani]

Hi to everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm here to share a problem hoping in a solution.

I have a freeness server with the following specs:
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3450 @ 2.67GHz
- Supermicro X8SIL as MOBO
- 16 G DDR3 ECC ram

I installed freeness 11.1 and I'm wondering to create a new Linux virtual machine for simulation purposes. I know the hardware is not great, but better than my MacBook Pro ;-)

So, I created a zvol, created the vm and added the iso and zvol to it as devices.

The problem is that, when I run the vm, it will automatically stops and I have no way to proceed with the OS installation.

On then as monitor is written:

Code:

tap0: Ethernet adders: 00:bd:8b:ad:0d:00
bridge0: can't disable some capabilities on em0: 0x1

I checked on the bios and VT-d is on.
May you help me with that problem ?

Thanks a lot.
Regards

Were you able to resolve this?

Unfortunately no, I tried several times but it's not working :-(

I'm having the same error and therefore can't get a plugin to install. By any chance did you figure anything out?

From my other thread I was given this solution and maybe it can help you as well. As soon as I corrected this it worked perfectly.

Likely covered / thought of, but doesn't the Port Group assigned to the FreeNAS VM need to contain both the following with VNET?

• Promiscuous mode = Accept (or "Inherit from vSwitch" provided set there)
• Forged trasmits = Accept (or "Inherit from vSwitch" provided set there)

For an Intel processor, bhyve needs

• EPT
• UG (optional flag to support more than 1 vCPU)

To check the flags of your CPU, run

Code:

dmesg | grep VT-x

On my server with a Intel E5-2630v4, it returns

Code:

VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID,VID,PostIntr

If you have

• neither EPT nor UG: you cannot run bhyve, you can run only jails
• only EPT, you can run bhyve virtual machine but with only one vCPU.
• EPT and UG: you can run bhyve with several vCPU
