Liceo

Dear all

After struggling with Performance problems on Hyper-V using the official builds, i tested this one and in rocks!

Thanks to all involved!

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.

Is there any way how to get Vlans on Guest(pfsense) working?

Thanks.

PS : nice job ;)

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

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?

Hi,

Thanks

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

Panic String: sleeping thread
Dump Parity: 2933982801
Bounds: 0
Dump Status: good

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.
