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 building special Linux distribution with hypervisor and container virtualization.
It consists from Cloud Linux distribution, 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 OpenVZ on existed Linux distribution
- There is ability to install OpenVZ on installed RPM based Linux distribution. Follow step-by-step instruction below:
Package virtuozzo-release will bring meta information and Yum repositories:
rpm -ihv http://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/7.0/x86_64/os/virtuozzo-release-7.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
Some Linux distributions (like Fedora) may require to install package yum-plugin-priorities:
yum install yum-plugin-priorities
Then perform installation of mandatory Virtuozzo RPM packages:
yum install -y prlctl prl-disp-service vzkernel
Known issues: #3274, #3275, #3273
OpenVZ with upstream Linux 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 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 separate partition mounted to /vz.
See OpenVZ with upstream kernel.
Using OpenVZ
OpenVZ is now set up on your machine. Follow on to basic operations in OpenVZ environment document.
