FreeBSD Friends, I tried the forums and thought I'd ask here next; here's the thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/can-bhyve-pass-disk-vendor-model-and-serial-values-to-guests.75851/ This is on 12.1-RELEASE-p6. Can bhyve pass disks to guests in a way that preserves the disk's actual vendor, model and serial values (as viewed from inside of the guest)? Here's how a passed-in disk looks inside the guest with ahci-hd emulation: linux_in_bhyve# lsblk --output vendor,model,serial /dev/sda VENDOR MODEL SERIAL ATA BHYVE SATA DISK BHYVE-FC87-ABA5-711B And with virtio-blk emulation: linux_in_bhyve# lsblk -o vendor,model,serial /dev/vdb VENDOR MODEL SERIAL 0x1af4 Meanwhile, a similar disk configured on ESXi 5.5 U3b as a "pass-through RDM" looks like this; this is what I'd like to see in the bhyve guest also: linux_in_esxi# lsblk -o vendor,model,serial /dev/sdb VENDOR MODEL SERIAL HITACHI OPEN-V-CM 60060e801602a100000102a100000bba Thank you!
