The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support. v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages. website: Add project links to KVM/QEMU driver page website: Add project links to Xen driver page website: Add project links to LXC driver page website: Add project links to OpenVZ driver page website: Add project links to UML driver page website: Add project links to Virtualbox driver page website: Add project links to ESX driver page website: Add project links to VMware driver page

<h1>OpenVZ container driver</h1>
|
|
|
|
<ul id="toc"></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

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:

<h2><a name="notes">Notes on bridged networking</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="host">Host network devices</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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 <a href="http://wiki.libvirt.org">Wiki</a>
|
|
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".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="tools">OpenVZ tools configuration</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
OpenVZ releases later than 3.0.23 ship with a standard network device
|
|
setup script that is able to setup bridging, named
|
|
<code>/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr</code>. 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 <code>/etc/vz/vznetctl.conf</code>
|
|
must be created containing
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr"
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="example">Example guest domain XML configuration</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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 <code>filesystem</code> tag, and the template source name
|
|
matches the templates known to OpenVZ tools.
