Config changes

Compatibility

  • Please note that if you use yum and have openvz-kernel-devel repository enabled, there will be no automatic upgrade to this new kernel. This will be fixed during next kernel releases.
  • CPT functionality still has a few known issues.

Notes

  • For NFS in VE configuration, see NFS.

RPMS

You need only one kernel RPM so please choose the appropriate one depending on your hardware:

  • If your x86 (i686, IA32) machine has more than 4 GB of RAM, choose kernel-enterprise RPM.
  • If your x86 (i686, IA32) or x86_64 (AMD64, EM64T) machine has more than one CPU (or a CPU with hyperthreading), choose kernel-smp RPM.
  • Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (i.e. kernel).

For more info, see Kernel flavors.
