I had the same problem and TightVNC was the only VNC viewer that would work. It also worked on windows very well

I have this same issue.
I'm running FreeNas 11 RC
I created a ZVol under my ZPol, I can see a VNC port.
When I click start vm, says VM started and once the page refreshes it stays as STOPPED and VNC or TightVNC cannot connect.


Console:

Ubuntu iso: ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

The issue is with the VM not starting at all, I know I have to do some extra configuration with grub to be able to install it after the VM starts.

TIA

How much ram did you allocate to your virtual machine? Did you enter it in assuming it was GB rather than MB?

I did read the whole thread, the number seems to be in MB, I assigned 3000MB which is close to 3GB from the 16GB available.

have you tired running the vm via the command line and seeing the error you get. i cant remeber the exact command off the top of my head to run via cmdline but its something like below.

Code:
bhyve --run --vm=<vmName>


use the man pages to find the exact command

There is no --run option which is clear from the Usage options, you need to run something similar to this, I got my VM up and running from the following command, replace <nasrootfolder> and <pathtodataset> with your nas root folder and dataset holding your VM image.

Code:
bhyve -A -P -H -c 1 -m 2000 \
	-s 0:0,hostbridge \
	-s 31,lpc \
	-l com1,/dev/nmdm1A \
	-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
	-s 3,virtio-net,tap1 \
	-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5902,w=1024,h=768,wait \
	-s 30,xhci,tablet \
	-s 4,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/<nasrootfolder>/<pathtodataset> Ubuntu
