Comments on Building A Virtual Server (VPS) With Debian 3.1 (Sarge) And OpenVZ

Building A Virtual Server (VPS) With Debian 3.1 (Sarge) And OpenVZ In this HowTo I will describe the steps to be taken to prepare a server for OpenVZ virtual machines on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) 32Bit Linux. 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.

I tried befor the Xen tutorial from Falko but had some problems with compiling ACPI options in the Xen kernel.
This OpenVZ howto works right from the first time i set it up like you explained with the ACPI options compiled in the VZ kernel and everything. So i can shut off and WOL start the host system now too.
Installing the virtual systems is easy and fast. I'm a happy man hehe
Very cool Howto! Thanks!

it should be

echo "deb http://debian.systs.org/ stable openvz" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/022stab064.1/patches/patch-022stab064-combined.gz

should be :

wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/stable/022stab064.1/patches/patch-022stab064-combined.gz

stable is missing...

Hi, 

with the packages from debian.systs.org I also hat the

arpsend: can't get iface 'eth0:' address : Cannot assign requested address

problem. The real problem is the ':'... Change /usr/share/vz/vps-functions with 

100c97
<       awk "/^[0-9].*:/&&/UP/ {print substr(\\$2, 0, length(\\$2))}"`
---
>       awk "/^[0-9].*:/&&/UP/ {print substr(\\$2, 0, length(\\$2)-1)}"`

and networking works as expected...

please be careful:

from now the vzctl (>= 3.0.10-1dso1) depends on "gawk" not on the plain awk!

so there 's no need to change the source in "vps-functions" 

And if someone detected a "bug" please let me know :-)
