Virtuozzo -> Openvz/Proxmox ve

[Erwin123]

I have some Virtuozzo containers that I would like to migrate to Proxmox VE.
Is that possible?

Never tried, but it should be doable.

First create a tar with the VM data:

vrituozzo# cd /vz/private
virtuozzo# tar cf myvm.tar --numeric-owner VMID

Then move it to the proxmox node and extract it:

pve# cd /var/lib/vz/private
pve# tar xvpf myvm.tar

Then you need to create a config file in /etc/vz/conf/.

I guess its best to first create a dummy vm on the web interface with the settings you need, and then simply copy/edit that file.

let me if itf that works.

Great, we're going to try this and we'll let you know if this works

Unfortunatly this didn't work.
The server we try to save is an old Redhat 9 server.

We started with a Centos template, and copied the conf file.
The server won't boot, it searches /etc/network/services wich obviously doesn't exists on redhat.
It is our monitoring server that we try to save this way. Its running some software that we love but cant be simply reinstalled because it needs licenses and the original vendor stopped the project years ago (Hybodus).

I think it would help if we could find a RH9 template for Openvz...
