reformatted to use h5 for questions (better since questions are in TOC now)
== General ==
; ===== What is a Virtual Environment (Virtual Private Server, VPS, VE)?=====
See [[VE]]
; ===== Who needs OpenVZ? How it can be used?=====: See [[Use cases]]
; ===== How is OpenVZ different from other technologies?=====: See [[Introduction to virtualization]]
; ===== How is OpenVZ updated and why it is secure?=====: See [[Security]]
; ===== I want to show my appreciation to OpenVZ and put some logo to my site. Where to get it?=====: See [[Artwork]]
== Installation and upgrade ==
; What hardware is supported by OpenVZ kernel?
: See [http://www.virtuozzo.com/en/products/virtuozzo/hcl/ Virtuozzo HCL].
; Why there are different ===== What hardware is supported by OpenVZ kernel flavours available and what do they mean?=====: See [[Different kernel flavors (UP, SMP, ENTERPRISE, ENTNOSPLIT)]http://www.virtuozzo.com/en/products/virtuozzo/hcl/ Virtuozzo HCL].
; How ===== Why there are different kernel flavours available and what do I rebuild the kernelthey mean?=====: See [[Kernel buildDifferent kernel flavors (UP, SMP, ENTERPRISE, ENTNOSPLIT)]]
; What does 021stab018 in OpenVZ ===== How do I rebuild the kernel version mean?=====: See [[Kernel versioningbuild]]
; How can I check package signatures===== What does 021stab018 in OpenVZ kernel version mean?=====: See [[Package signaturesKernel versioning]]
; ===== How can I check package signatures? =====See [[Package signatures]] ===== Is it possible to run x86 VPS on a x86_64 arch?=====: Sure :) We actually did some work on that to enable migration of x86 VE from x86 to x86_64 and back, and to enable using 32-bit iptables in 32bit VE on an x86_64 system.
== Networking ==
; How do I set up VPN for a VE?
: See [[VPN via the TUN/TAP device]]
; ===== How do I set up VPN for a VE? =====See [[VPN via the TUN/TAP device]] ===== What is veth and how do I use it?=====: See [[Virtual Ethernet device]]
== User Beancounters ==
; ===== How can I reset <code>failcnt</code> in <code>/proc/user_beancounters</code>?=====: In short — only by stopping and starting a VE. In some cases you need to keep VE in a stopped state for a few minutes.
: Long answer: there can be many application who reads /proc/user_beancounters, and thus if you will reset it you gonna have problems with those other apps.: Consider what happens if you will reset you sent/received packets/bytes statistics on the network interface — programs which reads will be screwed up.: So the proper thing to watch for is not the current value of, say, failcnt, but whether it is increased (from the previous reading) or not. You can write a simple shell script to do just that.
== Troubleshooting ==
; ===== My kernel crashed. What should I do?=====: See [[When you have an oops]]
; ===== I see a lot of processes in D state. What does that mean?=====
: See [[Processes in D state]]
