This article is for Virtuozzo 7 only.
|
Note: Use page Quick installation if you want to install current stable version of OpenVZ |
This document briefly describes the steps needed to install Virtuozzo Linux distribution on your machine.
There are a few ways to install Virtuozzo:
Contents
Bare-metal installation
OpenVZ project builds its own Linux distribution with both hypervisor and container virtualization. It is based on CloudLinux distribution, with the additions of our custom kernel, OpenVZ management utilities, QEMU and Virtuozzo installer. It is highly recommended to use OpenVZ containers and virtual machines with this Virtuozzo installation image. See Virtuozzo. Download installation ISO image.
Using Virtuozzo in the Amazon EC2
Follow steps in Using Virtuozzo in the Amazon EC2.
Using Virtuozzo in the Microsoft Azure
Follow steps in article Using Virtuozzo in the Microsoft Azure.
Setup on pre-installed Linux distribution
|
|
Note: Pay attention, this installation method currently blocked by broken network after installation - OVZ-6454. |
Alternatively, one can install OpenVZ on a pre-installed RPM based Linux distribution. Supported Linux distributions: Cloud Linux 7.*, CentOS 7.*, Scientific Linux 7.* etc
Follow step-by-step instruction below:
Package virtuozzo-release will bring meta information and YUM repositories:
# yum localinstall http://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/7.0/x86_64/os/Packages/v/virtuozzo-release-7.0.0-10.vz7.x86_64.rpm
Then install mandatory Virtuozzo RPM packages:
# yum install -y prlctl prl-disp-service vzkernel
See OpenVZ Packages available in various Linux distributions.
OpenVZ with upstream Linux kernel
One can use Virtuozzo containers with vanilla kernel, albeit with some limitations:
- Some required changes may be absent in Linux kernel on your machine. Our Virtuozzo distribution based on Cloud Linux and we strongly recommend to use it if you don't want to install Virtuozzo Linux distribution for some reasons. Cloud Linux kernel contains some important changes absent in another kernels (even RHEL kernels).
- It is required to create a separate partition and mount it to /vz.
See article OpenVZ with upstream kernel if you want more details about support of upstream kernel.
Using Virtuozzo
Page with screencasts shows demo with a few Virtuozzo commands. Feel free to add more.
