NAME
       vz - global OpenVZ configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/vz/vz.conf

DESCRIPTION
       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.

   Global parameters
       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 VE0.

       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 parameters
       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, VE with incorrectly
              shutdown quota state started without quota check and after all
              VEs started marked VEs restarted.

   Network interface parameters
       VE_ROUTE_SRC_DEV="device"
              This parameter specifies the network device name which ip
              address will used for source ip. If on HN configured > 1 network
              interfaces and needed to specify the source ip address, set
              corresponding device. By default takes the first in network
              device list.

       TEMPLATE=directory
              Value of this parameter is a directory in which all VE template
              data are stored.

   Defaults for VE
       Below parameters are defaults for VE, and gets overwritten by
       parameters in vps.conf(5) VE configuration file.

       VE_ROOT=directory
              Value of this parameter is the directory which serves as VE root
              mount point. Value must contain string $VEID, it gets
              substituted with actual numeric VE ID.

       VE_PRIVATE=directory
              Value of this parameter is the directory in which all the files
              and directories specific to that VE are stored. Value must
              contain string $VEID, it gets substituted with actual numeric VE
              ID.

       CONFIGFILE=name
              Specified default configuration file on create action,
              corresponds to --config option

       Any other parameter that appears in per-PE configuration file
       vps.conf(5) can be also set here. Still, it is recommended to keep
       TEMPLATE, VE_PRIVATE and VE_ROOT in this configuration files, and all
       the other VE-related parameters in per-VE configuration files.
