Cloning VE

If you need to create an exact copy of an existing VE, these are the steps to make.

# OLDVE=222 NEWVE=333 # Just an example
# vzctl stop $OLDVE
# mkdir /vz/root/$NEWVE
# cp /etc/vz/conf/$OLDVE.conf /etc/vz/conf/$NEWVE.conf
# cp -a /vz/private/$OLDVE /vz/private/$NEWVE
# vzctl start $NEWVE; vzctl start $OLDVE
