cloning container

[falves1]

I am wondering if anybody has developed a cloning script that would take an existing container and build a new one based the old one, taking as parameters a new IP address, hardware node and bridge? If the container is set for DHCP, the parameter would be "DHCP".
I need to clone the same container many 400 times

you can do a backup/restore (but then all the keys and data is the same) or you just work with openvz templates.

I mean, build your own template with all needed software and then you can deploy that template as many times you want.

Is there a set of instructions to turn my container into a new template?

If your container is Debian based, check our dab.

For general templates docs, see http://openvz.org/Category:Templates

My container is Centos 6.31 based. Is there any option?
