I'm trying to set up a VM in FreeNAS-11.0-U4 (54848d13b). This is a Debian Linux guest I'm trying to boot the installer on, and when the VM is in RUNNING state in the web UI I'm unable to connect via VNC (haven't got a client working successfully with it yet) and the console is inaccessible using cu(1) to an nmdm(4) device. Here is the running VM as seen in processes:
And connecting using
Any hints on continuing forward? Have seen in other threads that the Java Viewer for TightVNC is the one that seems to work for others, but it is not currently functioning on my macOS client (Java reflection error) so I was hoping to rely on the serial connection. What would cause the serial connection to not work in this case?
Code:
bhyve -A -P -H -c 1 -m 1024 -s 0:0,hostbridge -s 31,lpc -l com1,/dev/nmdm2A -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \ -s 3,e1000,tap0 -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5902,w=1024,h=768,wait -s 30,xhci,tablet -s 4,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/znetdata/unifi_disk0 \ -s 5,ahci-cd,/mnt/znetdata/media/iso/debian-9.2.1-amd64-netinst.iso unifi_controller
And connecting using
sudo cu -s 9600 -l /dev/nmdm2B
results in "Connected" output but repeated keystrokes on the serial connection give no results. Any hints on continuing forward?
