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.

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 distributive for features, stability and security

The following prlctl commands are not working at all with the non-OpenVZ kernel:
