I will try out the instructions at the bhyve site when I have something to work with. In the meantime, as a trial, I am attempting to copy a KVM vm running CentOS-6 from its CentOS host to a bhyve instance on FreeBSD-11.1. The source KVM guest is already in raw format but, it consists of two 32 GB virtual disks which themselves are lvm volumes on the host. I am somewhat perplexed as to how to proceed. I do not wish to disturb the existing vm on its host, just use it as a source for the transfer experiment. I have considered using vmware vCenter Converter for the Linux side and then using the vm to bhyve instructions on FreeBSD. At the moment I cannot even get a new CentOS bhyve vm to boot so I have doubts about getting something this complex to work. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
