Hi there, I'm provisioning a PVE 5.2 system to be deployed to a remote colocation facility. The system has to support some older, legacy software that only will run on CentOS 5 (32 or 64 bit). I have been able to install CentOS 6 successfully on this PVE version using templates, but I don't see anything prior which is understandable.
Although I could use an ISO and do this with a VM, it is for a SQL database and our tests show a major degredation of performance when running as a VM vs. what was an OpenVZ instance. I suspect this has something to do with writes, but rather than dealing with that, I was just going to install CentOS 5 as a new server install on LXC.
It seems to me that I have two options - either to convert the older OpenVZ container to LXC (from PVE 3.4 to 4.x) first, and then upgrade it to 5.2. Or just find a template and build a new server from that. I'd prefer the latter, but I have no idea where to find such a template. If I have to create one, are there any step by step instructions on how to do this? Or does anyone have one of these already built that I could use, or could they point me in the direction of any repositories that might have them?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
Myles
