If you had the Shorewall firewall running on the hardware node to route traffic to and from your guests, here are a couple of advices, provided you want a networking setup close to what you had with Vserver i. If you run a mail server in a VE, and if the hardware node has multiple network interfaces, you may have mail routing issues because of the originated IP address of the packets coming from the hardware node.
Additionally, Ubuntu based vservers have the udev package installed which prevents access to the console in openvz. This error message is an example of the problem:. So the vserver needs to mount it itself. Jump to: navigation , search. You can help OpenVZ Wiki by expanding it. Namespaces Page Discussion. Inodes : Inodes are related to number of files you have under a directory and not to the disk space used. Megabytes is required. And create the character device file inside the container execute the following on the host node :.

RSA key fingerprint is 3f:2aeebdee:3a:dc:c Last login: Thu Jun 19 from This issue is due to the VPS parameters set.
If it is no there, please add the following line to. Done The problem is fixed by changing the VPS quotaugidlimit value to The vps had enough disk space. Here is an example of its different intuitively opposite connotation: We can take n disks, and make them appear as one logical disk through a virtualization layer at this point LVM Logical Volume Manager comes into mind.
Grid computing enables the virtualization ad hoc provisioning, on-demand deployment, decentralized, etc. PVM is widely used in distributed computing. Colloquially speaking, virtualization abstracts out things.
Following are some possibly overlapping representative reasons for and benefits of virtualization:. There are those featuers common to all container based virtualization approaches also known as OS level virtualization i.
Then there are a few distinct features to OpenVZ not found with other virtualization solutions:. Basically it determines the physical box on which the OpenVZ enabled Linux kernel is installed. For example, one of my servers is a hardware node located in some datacenter. The image below shows the layers, which together, compose a functional OpenVZ setup.
From VE0 , we can use vzctl and other tools to manage containers. Also, from VE0 , all the VE's processes, files, etc. A VE is an isolated entity which performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone Linux. The core component with any OpenVZ environment is its kernel — to be more precise: OpenVZ is an operating system-level virtualization technology based on the Linux kernel.
The modified kernel provides virtualization, isolation, resource management, and checkpointing. Please go here for detailed information. Commonly speaking, nowadays, we use vzpkg2 in conjunction with pkg-cacher to create OS templates. However, aside from that there are a few other possibilities to create OS templates respectively to set up VE rather quickly:. At this point, the reader should have an idea about what OpenVZ is and how it works.
Before taking on with the more practical part, I strongly recommend to read through the FAQs Frequently Asked Questions to avoid misunderstandings and tedious work with subsequent tasks. This section details how to acquire all the OpenVZ components and install them onto some bare metal box from scratch.
Once configured, an OpenVZ environment needs to be managed which is covered with a dedicated section further down. I am not going to talk about non-mainline procedures like for example tinkering around with ready-made binary images, using some sort of SCM Software Configuration Management system, FAI Fully Automatic Installation or even better, Puppet.
Instead I am focusing on the standard procedure i. In short, the prerequisites needed for installing OpenVZ is an installed Debian system with Internet connectivity.
Starting with Linux kernel version 2. No more need we acquire the OpenVZ Linux kernel patch as well as the vanilla sources, patch them and finally rebuild the Linux kernel in order to get an OpenVZ enabled Linux kernel. So, all we need to do now is to issue aptitude install linux-image-openvz-amd64 which not just installs the kernel put also the userspace tools because the kernel package lists them as dependencies:.
As can be seen below, I have already installed all the OpenVZ components — issuing date is just to indicate when this worked already with Debian After we have installed all the OpenVZ components , we need to set them up and configure the whole shebang. This subsection provides a few guidelines which I generally consider best practice for OpenVZ deployment:. Ok, now that we have installed everything needed, we can start setting up things e. However, before we start firing up one VE after the other we need to know a few things about the internals about how OpenVZ works, best practices etc.
First of all, there is something called OS Operating System templates. Please go here to see how they are acquired and verified. When configuring VEs further down, we need to provide each VE with nameserver entries. Those who take a look at resolv.
Those are tried in order i. So, we want three nameservers, possibly independent ones. I came up with the below in order to get rid of this repetitive task once and for all More on how to use dig can be found here. With a little more magic we can ease VE creation. Please go here for common information with regards to sysctl. In conjunction with OpenVZ, the sysctl Linux kernel interface is important for us since we need to set a few kernel parameters needed to run an OpenVZ environment.
Line 93 is important. Lines 83 to 92 show the essential settings I recommend for running an OpenVZ system — one might deviate from that based on personal likings and needs. However, certain settings are simply necessary like for example line 54 or line Time to set up containers aka VEs Setting up a VE running Debian is what we do in lines 1 to We also specify the OS template to use, which is the one we downloaded and verified earlier.
Starting with line 5, we can now start to add the needed configurations to our VE. In order to do so we need to first specify the VE in question which is Then we set the hostname and an alias name see files. The VE also needs a nameserver s which we set in line Line 12 creates a user and sets a password for this particular user within our VE — in case the user does not exist it is created. Note that in line 12 we used stable instead of the VEID for the first time.
In case the VE root is not mounted, it is automatically mounted, all appropriate file changes are applied, then it is unmounted again as we can see from lines 13 to Because as of now March the default setting when using vps. In case a VE would be used to host a website or something like that, we would of course want for the VE to boot when the HN boots as well. In line 21 it is time to start our VE. When it finished, we list all currently running VEs in lines 31 to 35, once showing their hostname as we set it in line 5 and once its alias name, also as we set it in line 5.
The remainder until line 51 is basically just to try a few basic things and look around. However, as of now the user root had now password set which is why we issued line 46 and then set a password for root. Line 53 to 55 show the nameserver s which we set in line Note that in certain cases, one might need to not set the nameservers as we did in line 10 but to provide his gateways IPv4 address e.
