Yum is nice package manager for RPM-based systems. If you are already using yum, you can set up OpenVZ yum repository and install/update OpenVZ software using yum.

Setup

Download openvz.repo file and put it to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory on your server. You are all set.

Usage

Upgrade

If you have OpenVZ already installed, just run

# yum update

periodically to keep your system up to date.

New installation

Run

# yum install ovzkernel vzctl

to install OpenVZ on your system.

Additional kernels

File openvz.repo by default enables only one repository — the one which contains latest stable kernel and tools. If you want to run some other OpenVZ kernel (e.g. development one, or a kernel made from some vendor's one), please edit /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo manually, changing the line enable=0 to enable=1 for the kernel you want.
