Hi Andriy, > I am very new to bhyve, so sorry if I am asking something silly or obvious. > I am using bhyve to speed up my testing and it seems that each time I need to > restart a VM I need to go through the cycle of destroying it with bhyvectl > --destroy, then re-loading a kernel with bhyveload and then actually booting the > VM with bhyve. It seems that I have to do this even if I don't change th kernel > between reboots. My first naive impression was that the point of bhyveload was > to load the kernel once. Seems it ain't so? bhyveload does the job of what BIOS/boot0/1/2/loader would do on real h/w, so it has to be executed each time on restart. One optimization to the cycle you mentioned is that bhyvectl --destroy only has to be done when the VM is no longer needed i.e you can loop with bhyveload/bhyve. later, Peter.
