Cannot create CT from command line

[Gerwood]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a new container from the ubuntu 13.10 template (ubuntu-13.10-x86_64), using vzctl create.

vzctl is telling me that "Error: Not enough parameters, diskinodes quota not set"

If I try a using --diskinodes as an option vzctl tells me that diskinodes is an unrecognized option, which makes sense given it's not listed as an option.

Am I missing something? I've looked through the Wiki and can't find any information on it.

Containers can be created through the web interface fine.

Thanks
Gerwood

Hi i got this problem, and its really anoying because if you just have acces to terminal it is difficult to create templates. I have solved it by copying an existing .conf file present in /etc/pve/openvz/, copy it with the termination *.conf-sample. After this use it in the vzctl create command. Like this "vzctl create 106 --ostemplate midebianminimo64 --private /var/lib/vz/private/106 --name debianparapruebas --config q . "q" is the sample file . Then you have to modifyt he file accordingly . I dont know why the web ui does this easy. In the openvz wiki there is not guidance to this problem. So i guess this problem is exclusive of proxmox. I think that proxmox ui precreates the config file anf then passes it to vzctl.
My solution is an ugly workaround but works.

you need to use pvectl instead on vzctl.

see 'man pvectl'
