== Installation ==
1. Get the latest kernel and utils from [[Download/kernel/rhel6]] and [[Download/utils]]. You need
* vzkernel
* vzkernel-devel
<code>vzkernel-devel</code> is optional.
For newer kernels with [[ploop]]-support you will not be able to use the vzctl package that comes with Ubuntu 10.04. So download the following rpm-packages from openvz.org as well
* ploop
* ploop-lib
* vzctl-core
* vzctl
* vzctl-lib
* vzquota
<code>vzkernel-devel</code> is optional.
2. Install fakeroot and alien.
apt-get install fakeroot alien
3. Convert all the RPMs to debs using alien.and install the converted kernel fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vz*.rpm dpkg -i vzkernel*deb 4a. Install vz utils ('''only if you did not download vzctl and vzquota from openvz.org''') apt-get install vzctl vzquota '''OR'''
44b. Install debsDownload and install [http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libcgroup1 libcgroup1] from the Ubuntu 12.04 repository for your architecture if you plan of using current versions of vzctl wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/libc/libcgroup/libcgroup1_0.37.1-1ubuntu10_i386.deb dpkg wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/libc/libcgroup/libcgroup1_0.37.1-i vz*1ubuntu10_amd64.deb
5 dpkg -i libcgroup1*deb dpkg -i ploop*deb vzquota*deb vzctl*deb 6. Modify <code>/boot/grub/menu.lst</code> like this. This heavily depends on your enviornment. Please modify. See also “configuring the bootloader” of [[Quick installation]].

timeout 3
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-38-server
66b. Edit If using grub2, please modify <code>/etc/sysctl.confdefault/grub</code>and change GRUB_DEFAULT to whatever your new grub entry is named (check your menuentrys in /boot/grub/grub.cfg) "GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6. See “sysctl” of [[Quick installation]]32-042stab061.2"
7. Edit <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code>. See “sysctl” of [[Quick installation]]. 8. Make OpenVZ boots automatically.
update-rc.d vz defaults
update-rc.d vzeventd defaults
89. If you plan to use LVM2, make sure the module dm-mod is loaded at startup: echo "dm-mod" >> /etc/modules 10. Reboot.
reboot
911. Follow the [[Quick installation]] from “installing OS template caches”. 11b. rsyslog probably won't work (it depends on a debian-specific kernel-hack). See[http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?p=32053] on how to get it working again.
