Hi all!
First: I am absolutely non-tech profile, but thanks to this great Freenas community I build my own 16Tb Freenas Server which is mainly used for multimedia storage (Pictures, Movies and Plex Media).
Before recent upgrades I created my VMs (Ubuntu, Win7 and Win10) that were working as expected, but now IOHYVE is required.
I searched on Freenas forums, but I could find only one video explaining how to create a VM with iohyve. I tried to follow the video steps but using a Win10 ISO file. In the end nothing worked and I realized the console does not support graphics.
Some questions:
a) Is it possible to have a Windows VM created with Iohyve that works like my previous VM (based on a VirtualBox)?
b) Is there a step-by-step on how to create a Windows VM with Iohyve using FreeNAS-9.10.2-U2 (e1497f2) ?
c) If answer "a" is "yes" can this VM:
c.1) connect to my network allowing internet navigation and recognize my peripherals (ie wireless printer, external HDs connected via USB 3.0 ports in my Freenas Server) ?
c.2) my motherboard has 01 VGA (already connect to a monitor to follow Freenas upgrades) and 01 HDMI. Can Windows VM "see" this HDMI port and send video to a 2nd monitor as a normal computer?
c.3) if I add another video board (besides the onboard videocard), can Windows 10 in a VM recognize the additional video ports for multi monitors porpoise like a standard Win does? I have no idea if the VM created with iohyve will "lock" Windows in a shell that it cannot use my hardware (video ports, Lan, USB 3.0, onboard wi-fi).
I really thank if someone could spend some time to clarify my points.
Kind regards and success for this amazing and reliable system!
