@vbjp No problem here on 23.01.b.20230106.0600.
Steps to reproduce open hyper-v manager on server open vm display/console while not running start vm
It will display vga resolution atc and freeze on masks line with high CPU usage.If you run vm without console open it starts and restarts just fine.
-
@vbjp Yeah, I did this.

@bob-dig
Gen2 vm yes?
Frozen on this screen
2 different hosts 2 different pfsense vm installs broken -

Strange after taking screenshot could not get vm to boot at all, even with console closed. rolled back to 22.05 snapshot, considering 22.05 really bad network performance on Hyper-v, will have to think something else.
Anyone have any ideas what could be the issue here?

@vbjp 22.05 "already" had the fix for the hyper-v networking problem (RSC).

Will test when I have more time.
Still there is some bug in 23.01 that making it fail boot on Hyper-v.
Not sure what is different with your setup.I had crazy upgrade path to plus (partially because no isos) maybe that's messed something up.
Upgrade was 2.5>2.6>2.7dev then tried to upgrade to plus 23.01 as beta released but it failed. After upgrade from 2.7dev to 22.01 plus (no detect path to 23.01) vm jus boot cycles few times and shuts off. Then reinstalled 2.6 on top from iso an had to wait 24 hours as netgate seem to limit frequent upgrades from same Id. Then upgraded to 22.01>22.05 and finally 23.01 beta. It booted fine after upgrade and even had few reboots. But now it's failing.

@vbjp One problem I have encountered lately is that I can not have MAC address spoofing enabled. It was once advised by MS to have that enabled but it made terrible problems here but not yours. Maybe have an eye on that too.

Moving from 2.7 to 22.01 is invalid. That is effectively a downgrade which is can cause problems.
It may be possible to upgrade from 2.7 once 23.01 is released since both are FreeBSD main (14) based.
I would expect that to work after reinstalling 2.6 though.
If you have issues pulling the certs too frequently you can open a ticket with us to reset it.

I can't replicate any problems on 23.01 RC using ZFS with Hyper-V here. Installs clean and boots fine afterward with UEFI.
VM was configured by following the recipe in the docs:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-hyper-v.html
This is on a Windows 10 host (22H2)

@jimp
Did fresh install of 2.6 and upgraded to latest 23.01 beta. Same problem. Reproducible everytime on my 2 systems running windows 2022 server.
Vm setup
Gen2 secure boot disabled
2gb ram (static), 1core. 2xnetwork adapters wan to nic SW and lan to private SW. 30gb drive plus DVD for install. Installed default 2.6 settings zfs etc. Min initial setup.
-
Does FreeBSD 14 install and boot correctly there?
-
Did you go from 2.6 to 22.01, then to 22.05, and then 23.01? Or straight from 22.01 to 23.01?
-
I couldn't go from 22.01 to 23.01 directly, but going from 22.01 to 22.05 to 23.01 each step worked and boots UEFI and ZFS properly with a working console.
I did this both by starting at 22.01 directly and by starting at 2.6, doing the plus upgrade to 22.01, then 22.05, then 23.01. Both paths succeeded, no problems encountered.

@stephenw10
Installed freebsd 14 on same host booted successfully. Rebooted few times no problems (vm settings basically same, just one network adapter)
Upgrade path for my pfsense was install 2.6ce from iso next get the id and register then upgrade to plus 22.01 then 22.05 then to beta 23.01.

We managed to replicate this locally and are investigating. So far it's not obvious what the difference is that triggers it.
You might try installing as UFS, in our tests that boots fine which seems like a big clue!There's a bug open for it:

Version : 10.0
The only real difference I see is mine that work are version
11.0, not version10.0.Can you stop the VM, and in the Hyper-V manager select Actions > Upgrade Configuration Version so it gets updated to
11.0?I don't know about Hyper-V but we see things like that all the time in ESX where newer FreeBSD versions will tickle some behavior that either needs a newer VM config version or newer OS selected.
That may only be on Windows 11, though. My Windows 10 box is powered off at the moment so I can't double check that until tomorrow.

For Windows Server 2022, the maximum configuration version is 10.0. I typed this in in PowerShell:
[Server]: PS C:\> Update-VMVersion "pfSense Router and Firewall" Confirm Are you sure you want to perform this action? Performing a configuration version update of "pfSense Router and Firewall" will prevent it from being migrated to or imported on previous versions of Windows. This operation is not reversible. [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [?] Help (default is "Y"): y WARNING: No update was performed for the virtual machine "pfSense Router and Firewall" because its configuration version is already at the maximum level supported by this server. For clustered servers, the maximum supported configuration version can be limited by the cluster functional level. -
@andrew_241 10 working fine here.
Interesting.
Maybe MS is just doing MS things and it depends on the age of your Windows Installation and what not... I have problems running a service in a debian VM in Hyper-V, I always have to boot it twice.
