→Summary
The vzmigrate script is used to migrate a [[container]] from one [[Hardware Node]] to another.
== Summary ==
OLD SERVER:
<pre>
[root@OpenVZ ~]# ssh-keygen -t rsa
[root@OpenVZ ~]# cd .ssh/
[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# scp id_rsa.pub root@10.1.5.6:./id_rsa.pub
</pre>
NEW SERVER:
<pre>
[root@Char ~]# cd .ssh/
[root@Char .ssh]# touch authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# chmod 600 authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# cat ../id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# rm ../id_rsa.pub
rm: remove regular file `../id_rsa.pub'? y
</pre>
OLD SERVER: (test if we can ssh without password)
<pre>
[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# ssh -2 -v root@10.1.5.6
[root@Char ~]# exit
[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# vzmigrate 10.1.5.6 101
</pre>
Above example migrate VM 101 to 10.1.5.6. You can read detail explanation below:
== Setting up SSH keys ==
* rsync is installed on the target host
* In general you cannot migrate from bigger kernel versions to smaller ones
* By default, after the migration process is completed, the Container private area and configuration file are '''deleted''' on the old HN. However, if you wish the Container private area on the Source Node to not be removed after the successful Container migration, you can override the default <code>vzmigrate</code> behavior by using the <code>–r no</code> switch.
