Remote off-host access and backwards compatibility with legacy +clients expecting ``libvirtd`` is provided by the ``virtproxy`` daemon. + +Restarting ``virtbhyved`` does not interrupt running guests. Guests continue to +operate and changes in their state will generally be picked up automatically +during startup. None the less it is recommended to avoid restarting with +running guests whenever practical. + + +SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION +======================== + +The ``virtbhyved`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes. + +In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself. + +In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen +on the UNIX sockets and pass them as pre-opened file descriptors. In this +mode most of the socket related config options in +``/etc/libvirt/virtbhyved.conf`` will no longer have any effect. + +Socket activation mode is generally the default when running on a host +OS that uses systemd. To revert to the traditional mode, all the socket +unit files must be masked: + +:: + + $ systemctl mask virtbhyved.socket virtbhyved-ro.socket \ + virtbhyved-admin.socket +
I don't think any OS that supports bhyve has systemd.
Heh true, this is a good example of why I didn't try to generate the manpages from a single common template. I'll cull this stuff out.
