Comments on Installing And Using OpenVZ On CentOS 5.2
Installing And Using OpenVZ On CentOS 5.2 In this HowTo I will describe how to prepare a CentOS 5.2 server for OpenVZ. With OpenVZ you can create multiple Virtual Private Servers (VPS) on the same hardware, similar to Xen and the Linux Vserver project. OpenVZ is the open-source branch of Virtuozzo, a commercial virtualization solution used by many providers that offer virtual servers. The OpenVZ kernel patch is licensed under the GPL license, and the user-level tools are under the QPL license.

This was a great article almost everything worked flawless.
I had to add to add /usr/sbin to PATH, otherwize vzctl would not start
one more hiccup is name resolution from the virtual linuxes, it won't resolve names unless I stop iptables firewall on the box itself, ping by ip address works fine even with iptables.
BTW I was using Centos 5.4 as a base OS so the how-to works fine even for Centos 5.4
In /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo disable centos6 repo and enable centos5 repo, or yum install ovzkernel does not work.
If you install vzkernel from centos 6 repo in centos5, the system doesn't boot (kernel panic),
