Gone from Corral to 11-RC3, two questions ...

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi all,

1. FreeNAS 11 doesn't have configurable bridge interfaces? I can circumvent that with a post-init script, but this is perhaps the only feature from Corral I miss.
2. I migrated two VMs easily. How can I access their respective serial consoles?

Thanks!
Patrick

That's probably in the 11.0 manual. @gpsguy has compiled easily-readable versions of it that can be used until it's released ( http://freenas.2trux.com/ ) or you can use the one included in FreeNAS (upper right corner).

I believe there's a feature request for that. A lot of cool little features were moved to Corral and never implemented in 9.10, so it's going to take a while until all these quality of life things are up on 11.

Yup, slated for 11.1: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/23500.

[... VM serial console ...]

That's probably in the 11.0 manual.

Nope, or I would not be asking ;)

It works like this:

Code:

# ssh to FreeNAS system
cu -s 9600 -l /dev/nmdm1B # for first VM
cu -s 9600 -l /dev/nmdm2B # for second VM
[...]

Well, then, that needs to be fixed.
