I'm looking to repurpose an older HP G6 and an older G7 server, and an HP MSA with 8 TB of storage as VM hosts for VM guests consisting of Windows 2012 R2 development servers, and non-mission critical FreeBSD 10.2 servers. We're using VMware for all of our production servers, but I don't want to purchase additional licenses for this purpose. I'd love to use FreeBSD for the hosts, but am unsure if the hardware will pose any issues. I'm guessing that since ESX had no issues that FreeBSD should be OK in this day and age. If the hardware is OK, should I be looking at bhyve, KVM or VirtualBox? The only issue I can think of that might sway the choice from one to another would be that while I'm comfortable with setting up config files from the command line, a GUI would be nice to allow people other than myself something to monitor the install. Any comments / thoughts / advice on this project would be most appreciated. Best regards, Greg Groth
