Migration from bhyvemgr 1.15.0 to 2.0.0

Requirements

  • All virtual machines must be stopped
  • A bhyvemgrd installation from FreeBSD ports or packages
  • A bhyvemgr installation updated to v2.0.0
  • A bhyvemgr config files backup

Dnsmasq breaking change

If you are using Dnsmasq support, a change must be applied to dnsmasq setting /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf:

Remove the line:
conf-dir=/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr/,*.conf

Add the following lines:
dhcp-hostsdir=/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-dhcp/
hostsdir=/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-host/

Create the new configuration directories:

# install -d -m 775 /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-dhcp
# chown root:bhyvemgrd /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-dhcp
# install -d -m 775 /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-host
# chown root:bhyvemgrd /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/bhyvemgr-host
