Editing Cloning VE

If you need to create an exact copy of an existing VE, these are the steps to make.

 # OLDVE=222 NEWVE=333 # Just an example
 # vzctl stop $OLDVE
 # mkdir /vz/root/$NEWVE
 # cp /etc/vz/conf/$OLDVE.conf /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf
 # mkdir /vz/private/$NEWVE
 # pushd /vz/private/$OLDVE; tar c --numeric-owner * | tar x --numeric-owner -C /vz/private/$NEWVE; popd
 # vi /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf # Change the IP_ADDRESS
 # vzctl start $NEWVE; vzctl start $OLDVE
