Hi Falko, I followed your article "How To Convert Physical Systems And Xen VMs Into OpenVZ Containers (Debian Etch)" I need some clarification. I am using proxmox. So KVM and openvz reside on the same system. I have setup up a kvm image of centos based asterisk system just the way I want it. Now, I want to convert that into an openvz container. so what should I do to apply your instructions in proxmox's context. You instructions " server1/server2: apt-get install rsync Now let's transfer server1's files to the OpenVZ container: server2: rsync -arvpz --numeric-ids --exclude dev --exclude proc --exclude tmp -e "ssh -l [email protected]" [email protected]:/ /vz/private/211/ " After that is answered, what value should I put in your example " vzctl set 211 --ostemplate debian-4.0-i386-minimal --save " The Os is centos 5. Thanks in advance kumar
Got stuck I could rsync my asterisk pbx based on Centos 5 with Ip 192.168.45.6 to my Proxmox server 192.168.45.183 It imported the files and everything. According to your instructions vzctl set 211 --onboot yes --save vzctl set 211 --hostname server1.example.com --save vzctl set 211 --ipadd 192.168.0.100 --save vzctl set 211 --numothersock 120 --save vzctl set 211 --nameserver 145.253.2.75 --nameserver 213.191.92.86 --save vzctl set 211 --diskspace 10000000:11000000 --save How do I set Swap and memory ? Next, I followed the remaining instructions sed -i -e '/getty/d' /vz/private/211/etc/inittab rm -f /vz/private/211/etc/mtab ln -s /proc/mounts /vz/private/211/etc/mtab cp /vz/private/211/etc/fstab /vz/private/211/etc/fstab.old grep devpts /vz/private/211/etc/fstab.old > /vz/private/211/etc/fstab mkdir /vz/private/211/dev mknod --mode 666 /vz/private/211/dev/ptmx c 5 2 mkdir /vz/private/211/dev/pts cp -a /dev/ttyp* /dev/ptyp* /vz/private/211/dev/ rm -f /vz/private/211/dev/null mknod --mode 666 /vz/private/211/dev/null c 1 3 mknod --mode 444 /vz/private/211/dev/urandom c 1 9 mkdir /vz/private/211/proc But I got stuck at cat /dev/null > /vz/private/211/etc/network/interfaces Since I have Centos Running, I dont have the interfaces file. So which is the file equivalent to interfaces, in Centos For example the path to all the config files in Centos is /vz/private/211/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Then there are number of files there. So which is the correct file. And finally According to your command cat /dev/null > /vz/private/211/etc/network/interfaces When I lookup up the /dev/null file, it is totally empty. So why is this step required? Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried this with CentOS, but I guess it's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. According to http://wiki.openvz.org/Physical_to_container you must set Code: ONBOOT=no in that file.
