OpenVZ container driver
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
|
|
The OpenVZ driver for libvirt allows use and management of container based
|
|
virtualization on a Linux host OS. Prior to using the OpenVZ driver, the OpenVZ
|
|
enabled kernel must be installed & booted, and the OpenVZ userspace tools
|
|
installed. The libvirt driver has been tested with OpenVZ 3.0.22, but other
|
|
3.0.x versions should also work without undue trouble.

Connections to OpenVZ driver
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The libvirt OpenVZ driver is a single-instance privileged driver, with a driver
|
|
name of 'openvz'. Some example connection URIs for the libvirt driver are:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
openvz:///system (local access)
|
|
openvz+unix:///system (local access)
|
|
openvz://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
|
|
openvz+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
|
|
openvz+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)

Notes on bridged networking
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bridged networking enables a guest domain (ie container) to have its network
|
|
interface connected directly to the host's physical LAN. Before this can be used
|
|
there are a couple of configuration pre-requisites for the host OS.
|
|
|
|
Host network devices
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
One or more of the physical devices must be attached to a bridge. The process
|
|
for this varies according to the operating system in use, so for up to date
|
|
notes consult the `Wiki <https://wiki.libvirt.org>`__ or your operating system's
|
|
networking documentation. The basic idea is that the host OS should end up with
|
|
a bridge device "br0" containing a physical device "eth0", or a bonding device
|
|
"bond0".
|
|
|
|
OpenVZ tools configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
OpenVZ releases later than 3.0.23 ship with a standard network device setup
|
|
script that is able to setup bridging, named ``/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr``. For
|
|
releases prior to 3.0.23, this script must be created manually by the host OS
|
|
administrator. The simplest way is to just download the latest version of this
|
|
script from a newer OpenVZ release, or upstream source repository. Then a
|
|
generic configuration file ``/etc/vz/vznet.conf`` must be created containing
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr"
|
|
|
|
The host OS is now ready to allow bridging of guest containers, which will work
|
|
whether the container is started with libvirt, or OpenVZ tools.
|
|
|
|
Example guest domain XML configuration
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The current libvirt OpenVZ driver has a restriction that the domain names must
|
|
match the OpenVZ container VEID, which by convention start at 100, and are
|
|
incremented from there. The choice of OS template to use inside the container is
|
|
determined by the ``filesystem`` tag, and the template source name matches the
|
|
templates known to OpenVZ tools.
