vz.conf - global OpenVZ configuration file
This is the 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 the
vz init 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 greater the number is, the more
information will be logged to the LOGFILE.
- VERBOSE=number
- Set the output verbosity of vzctl. Default is 0.
- MODULES_DISABLED=yes|no
- If the value of this parameter is set to yes, no attempt to load
kernel modules is made by the vz initscript. This is helpful on
systems which have OpenVZ-specific features compiled into the kernel (i.
e. not as modules).
- IPTABLES_MODULES="module module ..."
- List of iptables kernel modules to be loaded by vz initscript
before loading OpenVZ modules (which is required for iptables to work
inside containers). If not set, value of IPTABLES is used.
- VZFASTBOOT=yes|no
- If the value of this parameter is set to yes, vz initscript
called with start argument will start the containers with uncleanly
shutdown quota state without performing quota reinitialization (which is
usually a time-consuming process). After all the containers are started,
the initscript when restarts those containers with unclean quota in a
normal way (to recalculate/fix quotas).
- TEMPLATE=directory
- Value of this parameter is a directory in which all container template
data are stored.
- 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.
Below parameters are defaults for containers, and can be overwritten by
parameters in ctid.conf(5) per-container configuration file.
- DISK_QUOTA=yes|no
- In case the value of this parameter is set to no, all disk quota
operations are disabled.
- 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
- Default configuration file for create action, corresponds to
--config option.
- IPTABLES="module module ..."
- List of iptables modules to be enabled for containers, corresponds to
--iptables option.
Most of the other parameters that appear in per-container
configuration files ctid.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.
