<h1>OpenVZ container driver</h1>
|
|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Connections to OpenVZ driver</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The libvirt OpenVZ driver is a single-instance privileged driver,
|
|
with a driver name of 'openvz'. Some example conection URIs for
|
|
the libvirt driver are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
openvz:///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)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<h2>Notes on bridged networking</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>Host network devices</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>OpenVZ tools configuration</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 adminstrator. 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>Example guest domain XML configuration</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.
|
