vz.conf - global OpenVZ configuration file
This is global configuration file for OpenVZ. It consists of lines in the form
PARAMETER="value"
All parameter names and values are case-sensitive. Quotes
surrounding value are required if value contains spaces, and are
optional otherwise. Extra spaces are not allowed. All unrecognized lines
will be ignored.
- VIRTUOZZO=yes|no
- This parameter can be set to yes or no, and used by
/etc/init.d/vz script. In case it is not set to
yes, nothing will be done to boot up OpenVZ on this node.
- LOCKDIR=directory
- Set the directory to put lock files to.
- VE0CPUUNITS=number
- Value of this parameter sets cpuunits for CT0 (host system).
- LOGGING=yes|no
- Enables or disables logging. This parameter can be set to yes or
no, default is yes.
- LOGFILE=file
- Set location of log file, default is
/var/log/vzctl.log.
- LOG_LEVEL=number
- Set the logging level. The more number is, the more information
will be logged.
- VERBOSE=number
- Set the output verbosity. Default is 0.
- MODULES_DISABLED=yes|no
- If the value of this parameter is set to yes, no attempt to load
OpenVZ kernel modules is made in vz initscript. This is helpful on systems
which have OpenVZ-specific stuff compiled into the kernel (i. e. not as
modules).
- DISK_QUOTA=yes|no
- In case the value of this parameter is set to no, all disk quota
operations are disabled.
- VZFASTBOOT=yes|no
- This parameter is used by /etc/init.d/vz start
script. In case the value of this parameter is set to yes, all
containers with incorrectly shutdown quota state are started without quota
check, and after all containers will be started, those marked containers
are restarted (to fix quotas).
- VE_ROUTE_SRC_DEV="device"
- This parameter specifies the network device name which IP address will be
used as the source IP. This is helpful in case more than one network
interface is configured on HN and there is a need to specify the source IP
address. Default is the first device in the network device list.
- NEIGHBOUR_DEVS[="detect"]
- Controls on which interfaces to add/remove ARP records for a container IP,
also which interfaces to use to query/announce ARP. If this is set to
detect, the right network interface (the one which is in the same
subnet as a CT IP) will be chosen automatically. Any other value restores
old (as of vzctl 3.0.19 or older) behavior, when all the possible
interfaces were used.
- ERROR_ON_ARPFAIL=yes|no
- In case the value of this parameter is set to yes, vzctl will fail
to start a container if there is another host with the same IP in the
subnet. The value of no makes vzctl to only print the warning.
- TEMPLATE=directory
- Value of this parameter is a directory in which all container template
data are stored.
Below parameters are defaults for containers, and can be overwritten by
parameters in vps.conf(5) per-container configuration file.
- VE_ROOT=directory
- Value of this parameter is the directory which serves as container
root mount point. Value must contain literal string $VEID, which
will be substituted with the actual numeric CT ID.
- VE_PRIVATE=directory
- Value of this parameter is the directory in which all the files and
directories specific to that container are stored. Value must contain
literal string $VEID, which will be substituted with the actual
numeric CT ID.
- CONFIGFILE=name
- Specified default configuration file on create action, corresponds
to --config option.
Most of the other parameters that appear in per-container
configuration files vps.conf(5) can be also set here. Still, it is
recommended to keep TEMPLATE, VE_PRIVATE and VE_ROOT in
this configuration file, and all the other container related parameters in
per-container configuration files.
