Changes

First of all we should download and install Install the latest stable version of OpenVZ kernel: <code> # wget http://openvz.org/download/kernel/stable/ovzkernel-2.6.9-023stab032.1.i686.rpm # rpm -ihv ovzkernel-2.6.9-023stab032.1.i686.rpm</code> If you use grub bootloader, then before installing the OpenVZ kernel file /boot/grub/grub.conf looked like this: <code> # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1.img</code> After installing it should look like this: <code> # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-023stab032.1) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-023stab032.1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-023stab032.1.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.17.13-vs2.0.2.1.img</code> And the default parameter should be set to 0 as described in purpose to make the OpenVZ kernel work by default after rebooting the machine[[quick installation]].

Some more manual configuring needed on this step:Update the /etc/sysctl.conf file according to the following listing ( Comment all other settings that are not presented in listing below ): <code> # On Hardware Node we generally need # packet forwarding enabled and proxy arp disabled net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0 # Enables source route verification net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 # Enables After the magic-sysrq key kernel.sysrq = 1 # TCP Explict Congestion Notification #net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0 # we do not want all our interfaces to send redirects net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0</code> As the SELinux should be disabledis installed, put the following line to /etc/sysconfig/selinux: <code> SELINUX=disabled</code> Now reboot the machine. After rebooting and loggin logging in you will see the following reply on vserver-stat call:

It is a natural thing that now virtual environments environment v345 is unavailable. The following steps will be devoted to making themit

3. Downloading and istalling installing vzctl package OpenVZ solution reqires installing a set of tools: vzctl and vzquota packages. Let us download and install this tools:

<code> # wget httpOpenVZ solution requires installing a set of tools://openvz.org/download/utils/vzctl-3.0.13-1.i386.rpm # wget http://openvz.org/download/utils/and vzquota-3.0.9-1.i386.rpm # rpm -Uhv vzctl-3.0.13-1.i386.rpm vzquota-3.0.9-1packages.i386Download and install it, as described in [[quick installation]].rpm</code>

Currently vzlist util utility is unable to find any containercontainers:

Move the existing templates of guest OSes OSs to the right place:

5. Testing how the guest OSes succesfully OSs successfully work over OpenVZ. Reference to Users Guide of OpenVZ (vzctl).
