Yum is nice package manager for RPM-based systems. If you are already using yum, you can set up OpenVZ yum repository and install/update OpenVZ software using yum.
Setup
Download openvz.repo file and put it to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory on your server. You are all set.
Usage
Upgrade
If you have OpenVZ already installed, just run
# yum update
periodically to keep your system up to date.
New installation
Run
# yum install ovzkernel vzctl
to install OpenVZ on your system.
|
Note: barely installing those packages is not enough to have OpenVZ up and running on your system. For full installation instructions, see Quick installation. |
.
Additional kernels
File openvz.repo by default enables only one repository — the one which contains latest stable kernel and tools. If you want to run some other OpenVZ kernel (e.g. development one, or a kernel made from some vendor's one), please edit /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo manually, changing the line enable=0 to enable=1 for the kernel you want.
