This article assumes you have already installed OpenVZ and prepared the OS template cache(s). If not, follow the links to perform the steps needed.
Create and start a VE
To create and start a VE, run the following commands:
[host-node]# vzctl create VEID --ostemplate osname [host-node]# vzctl set VEID --ipadd a.b.c.d --save [host-node]# vzctl set VEID --nameserver a.b.c.d --save [host-node]# vzctl start VEID
Here VEID is the numeric ID for the VE; osname is the name of the OS template for the VE, and a.b.c.d is the IP address to be assigned to the VE.
Example:
[host-node]# vzctl create 101 --ostemplate fedora-core-5-minimal [host-node]# vzctl set 101 --ipadd 10.1.2.3 --save [host-node]# vzctl set 101 --nameserver 10.0.2.1 --save [host-node]# vzctl start 101
Your freshly-created VE should be up and running now; you can see its processes:
[host-node]# vzctl exec VEID ps ax
Enter to and exit from the VE
To enter VE give the following command:
[host-node]# vzctl enter VEID entered into VPS VEID [ve]#
To exit from VE, just type exit and press enter:
[ve]# exit exited from VPS VEID [host-node]#
Stop and destroy the VE
To stop VE:
[host-node]# vzctl stop VEID Stopping VPS ... VPS was stopped VPS is unmounted
And to destroy VE:
[host-node]# vzctl destroy VEID Destroying VPS private area: /vz/private/VEID VPS private area was destroyed
Now, when you know how to manage your VE, learn about Resource management.
