Yum
,to install OpenVZ on your system.
{{Note|barely installing those packages is not enough to have OpenVZ up and running on your system. For full installation instructions, see [[Quick installation]].}}.
== Additional kernels ==
File <code>openvz.repo</code> 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 <code>/etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo</code> manually, changing the line <code>enable=0</code> to <code>enable=1</code> for the kernel you want.
== Troubleshooting ==
=== Fedora Core 6: complain about newer kernel ===
On Fedora 6 system you can get the error while installing OpenVZ kernel using yum, like this one:
Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-ovz028test010.1) is already installed
package kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-ovz028test010.1) is already installed
To work around this, disable kernel packages in fedora-core and fedora-updates repositories, by adding this line:
exclude=kernel kernel-smp kernel-enterprise
to the
* [core] section of /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo file
* [updates] section of /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo file
