      @gemmiu:

      Do i still have to restart the WAN-Adapter after every reboot to receive a dhcp ip address or is this issue solved in the last version?

      I solved this problem after setting all the NIC to 100/full.

        The previous 2 builds I have not had that issue you are describing.

            You should add network adapters and configure vlans using Hyper-V, not pfsense itself.

              I'm very new in freedsd and pfsense.

              About the WAN problem, is there a way to check in a startup script, if the wan adapter has a dhcp ip address assigned? And if no, the wan adapter will be restartet and the dhclient will be run again?

              Sorry for my bad english.

                What exactly do you mean with "WAN problem"?
                As i know, you shouln't need any start script since the integration driver….

                What language do you speek usually?
                You can send me a pm if its german  ;D

                  Sure, but then you are limited to the max of vNICs you can add.

                    You need more than 8 vNICs?

                      Consider using it in a productive environment, that can happen. It's not really an issue, if i would need more i may would deploy a 2nd pfsense.

                        Sorry, never needed that many NICs so never had this issue :)

                        Is there a chance we will see pfsense officially supported on Hyper-v in near future?

                          Hi all.
                          My last updated ISO with a Hyper-V kernel

                          http://goo.gl/evcFRk :: pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-HV-kernel-20130812-2157.iso

                          Hi PollyPy

                          Which procedure you use to create your pfsense-Hyper-V builds? Do you have a step-by-step manual which is understandable for a Linux dummie like me?

                                If I try to Update system or install Packages the system crash during download.

                                Panic String: sleeping thread

                                If I include kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC the clock was wrong

                                I tested any versions with hyper-v patches.

                                  kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC can happen, when your cpu change its frequency - change back to the old one and live with the log messages…

                                  Panic String: sleeping thread...
                                  thats a strange issue, sometimes I get this error too - i posted something about that already.

                                  You dont should try to update or install packages over your wan nic (i did that)

                                    I tested package install in hyper-v on I3-2120 processor and get Kernel Panic, but I did this in hyper-v on Xeon-X5675 and didn´t get Kernel Panic.

                                      I did a new build with the Hyper-V kernel of pfSense versions 2.0.3p1 and 2.1 RC2 with the source as of 20130904.

                                      Taking PollyPy lead, I posted it on SkyDrive and on RapidShare and I'm using URL shortening (to be able to redirect it in the future to newer builds, since I can't edit older posts to update the links - if an admin reads this, you might want to edit older posts or we might want to put these links in a sticky thread so they're easier to find).

                                      • Rapidshare: http://sn.im/27sh5kx (limited to about 10 downloads a day, so try again if you can't get it).

                                      • Skydrive: http://goo.gl/mBhK46 (using Google shortening since SnipURL doesn't let you redirect to SkyDrive, I won't be able to update it to redirect to a new version later, so keep watching this thread).

                                      I posted a single 7z file with both ISOs, so it is less confusing.

                                      I tested both for a couple days and only had a couple issues:

                                      • On 2.0.3p1, I had to re-install rrdtool (run pgk_add -r rrdtool)

                                      • On 2.1RC2, I had to Reset RRD Data (while there were graphs, they were empty)

                                      The 2.1RC2 install seems to be working great and I'll probably move to it permanently.

                                        SO HAPPY to see 2.1-RELEASE is available now. :) Currently running 2.1RC0, but looking to upgrade to the RELEASE. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to create an update/latest edition. Loving Pfsense in Hyper-V! Looking forward to moving beyond these incremental 2.1 releases and having the "final" 2.1 edition to troubleshoot with everyone.

                                          Admin edit: Removed outdated, incorrect advice others were linking to. Everyone using Hyper-V should be using 2.2 (or newer if available, if you're reading this in the future).

                                            AFAIK, you can't use these ISOs as an update source.

                                            As you suggest, I usually make a backup of the config of the current router. Then use the ISO to make a clean install on a new VM (use a fixed size VHD, add 2 synthetic network adapters), give it an unused IP in your LAN, and connect to it using the WebConfigurator and restore the backup config (shutdown existing router before clicking on restore to avoid having duplicate IPs - also make sure to configure mac spoofing on the VM network card if it applies).

                                            You just have to make sure to match the interfaces to the correct virtual network card, that you assign them the same way you had them on your prior router in the VM Hyper-V config. Or you can edit the config XML file manually.

                                            If coming from a pre-Hyper-V VM with legacy adapters, the config file will have it's interfaces named de0, de1, etc.; and it will have an interface mismatch with the synthetic adapters (hn0, hn1, …), so it will prompt you what interface corresponds to which network port. Or you might have to edit the config using the "Assign Interfaces" option in the console menu.
