Service Container on a Parallels Virtuozzo Containers hardware node can be created using ‘vzsveinstall‘ utility:
# vzsveinstall -D DISTRIB_DIR -s SERVICE_CT_IP
- DISTRIB_DIR - path to Virtuozzo distribution directory hierarchy on a server.
- SERVICE_CT_IP - IP address to be assigned to Service Container;
In case you have downloaded Virtuozzo distributive already (example for 64-bit PVC 4.0) as file “virtuozzo-4.0.0-${build_version}-x86_64.sfx”, please extract it in the following way:
# mkdir -p /vz/full_distr
# bash /path/to/virtuozzo-4.0.0-${build_version}-x86_64.sfx -d /vz/full_distr –extract
Create Service Container then using this command (make sure old Service Container #1 does not exist):
# vzsveinstall -v -D /vz/full_distr -s SERVICE_CT_IP
Please refer to man page on ‘vzsveinstall‘ utility for additional information.
