What virtualization to use on a FreeBSD 8 host machine

Question

FreeBSD

Hello.

There is a computer with FreeBSD 8 installed.

There is a need to run Windows Server 2008 on the same computer as a virtual machine (and preferably not one). :)

The computer supports AMD-V.

What is the best free virtualization system to use for maximum performance and easy administration with FreeBSD as a host system?

qemu, virtualbox, something else?

Another option would be a host machine with OpenSolaris or something similar, but Oracle's policy does not inspire confidence in the fate of their developments. :(

Answer 1

Jails are well made in FreeBSD, but so far there are problems with Xen, and a working KVM is not expected. Better use Linux with Xen/KVM, like RHEL6 with KVM.

Answer 2

FreeBSD, unfortunately, is not very suitable for virtualization - in fact, only itself in jails. If you really want to, then, probably, you should still use virtualbox.

Answer 3

and you have no choice - virtualbox. The rest is buggy or does not start Windows.

Answer 4

And why fryaha and not debian, if not a secret? From abstract considerations or from actual needs?
