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!
