Hi, Is there any guide on how to use the vmdk file provided on release on vSphere? The first thing that I noticed is an issue reported a few months ago - https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/installing-on-esxi-using-official-vmdk-files.72945/
Changing the type (Virtual Device Node) of the disk from SCSI to IDE solves the initial issue, but then growfs fails (also the vSphere complains about the disk image and resizing fails. I workaround this by creating a FBSD(12.1amd64) VM on Workstation Player (free version) and then replacing the disk with the image. Resizing and growfs (on first boot) worked as expected. Then I used the created vmdk file and uploaded it to be used for my VM. It's not very "clean" process, I need to download additional software and I wonder if someone has a better approach or those files are strictly only for VM Workstation? Also it's not very good for automatization... _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
