OpenVZ with upstream kernel
Revision as of 18:39, 22 June 2015 by Sergey Bronnikov (talk | contribs) (distributive -> distribution)
This article is a stub. You can help OpenVZ Wiki by expanding it. This article describes using OpenVZ tool prlctl as an alternative to LXC tools.
It is currently possible to create, start and stop a container with the same steps as one would use for a normal OpenVZ container. Other features may be present with limited functionality, while some are not present at all. We appreciate all bug reports, please file to bugzilla.
Running prlctl on upstream kernels is considered an experimental feature. See #Limitations below.
Contents
Requirements
- partition with /vz mount point
- ext4 filesystem recommended
- Cloud Linux is recommended
Installation

Note: This section describes installation for RPM-based distros. |
First, download virtuozzo-release package and install it. Then, install following packages:
yum install -y prlctl libprlsdk prl-disp-service
Limitations

|
Note: We recommend using Virtuozzo distribution for features, stability and security |
The following prlctl commands are not working at all with the non-OpenVZ kernel:
- FIXME
Known issues and workarounds
- Huge amount of dependencies for RPM package prl-disp-service
- RPM packages have no GPG sign
- Absent packages for Debian-based distribution
- No support of CT UUID in vanilla kernel (#3264)
- Review dependencies for prl-disp-service (PSBM-34414)
- Make ability to use prlctl with vanilla kernel (PSBM-34418)
