This article is a stub. You can help OpenVZ Wiki by expanding it. 
This article is for Virtuozzo 7 only.This document briefly describes the steps needed to install OpenVZ on your machine.
There are two ways to get OpenVZ:
Contents
Virtuozzo bare-metal installation
- OpenVZ project build special Linux distributive with hypervisor and container virtualization.
It consists from Cloud Linux distributive, our custom kernel, OpenVZ management utilities, QEMU and installer. It is highly recommended to use OpenVZ containers and virtual machines with this Virtuozzo installation image. See Virtuozzo.
Using OpenVZ with upstream Linux kernel
- See OpenVZ with upstream kernel. There is ability to use OpenVZ containers in vanilla kernel. But there some disadvantages:
- Some required changes may be absent in Linux kernel on your machine. Our Virtuozzo distributive based on Cloud Linux and
we strongly recommend to use it if you don't want to install Virtuozzo Linux distributive for some reasons. Cloud Linux kernel contains some important changes absent in another kernels (even RHEL kernels).
- It is required to create to have separate partition mounted to /vz.
Next steps
OpenVZ is now set up on your machine. Follow on to basic operations in OpenVZ environment document.
