Custom behavior settings by exit codes

Commands: bconfig, bset, bconstruct-tui

% cbsd bconfig
% cbsd bset
% cbsd bconstruct-tui

Description:

Configuring the behavior of the virtual machine at exit codes

Beginning with version 12.0.4 of CBSD, a behavior regulator has been added, depending on the virtual machine hypervisor exit code

You can reassign this behavior as a global profile (bhyve-default-default.conf), and/or individually for each virtual machine

To edit, you can use bset or the corresponding menu item in the bconstruct-tui or bconfig

Possible exit codes you can use:

  • on_poweroff: the content of this element specifies the action to take when the guest requests a poweroff
  • on_reboot: the content of this element specifies the action to take when the guest requests a reboot
  • on_crash: the content of this element specifies the action to take when the guest crashes

Possible behaviors that you can remap for each code:

  • destroy: the domain will be terminated completely and all resources released
  • restart: the domain will be terminated and then restarted with the same configuration
  • preserve: the domain will be terminated and its resource preserved to allow analysis (WIP, at the moment: XEN only)
  • rename-restart: the domain will be terminated and then restarted with a new name (WIP, at the moment: XEN only)
