Proxmox 4 container: unsupported redhat release

[Cipher]

Hello,

I can't create container in Proxmox 4.0Beta-24 with CentOS 7 or Fedora 21. I used the templates from http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/ and renamed the files to fit the proxmox naming scheme.

I couldn't find anything on the error and my knowledge of openvz is minimal.

CentOS 6 and debian/Ubuntu container are working as expected.

Cheers!

Just a long shot. I could easily be that openvz, which is only available for RHEL 6 kernels, does not support systemd.

Interesting idea, but the Debian 8 container is working, with systemd...

Most systemd based distribution does not work as lxc container - due to an too old systemd version inside the distribution.

Our Debian 8 LXC container template does NOT use systemd, therefore it works great. The only working systemd template provided by us, is the 15.04 ubuntu lxc template.

Centos 7 with systemd does not work, fedora 21 was not tested by me so I do not know the status here.

Ah ok, thank you for the info!

Hello all,
for a new project, i have found some openvz RedHat 5.7 VM on a Proxmox v2, can i upgrade to Proxmox 4VE?

I've installed a test suite with a cluster on 2 servers with proxmox 4VE (for v2 we have a cluster of 17 servers/node), i've exported a backup of RH from v2 and imported on v4...but i got the message:
"unsupported redhat release...."

i've tried also to make a dd of disk and start a VM with raw hdd...with no luck.
My customers wants to know if is possible to migrate to v4 (they wants also to buy licences if migration to v4 is possible) or if we have to make new VM from scratch, probably we are forced to switch to VMware..

In case V4 cannot operate with (old) RH vm on OpenVZ ... if we wants to continue to use OpenVZ, Proxmox v3 is still available with licences and support?

So you have an openvz container and you're considering VMWare as alternative to PVE4? I'd rather switch to KVM on PVE4 or upgrade the RedHat system to >=6 and use LXC on PVE4...
