vzsplit(8)                        Containers                        vzsplit(8)



NAME
       vzsplit - generate a sample container configuration file with a certain
       set of system resource control parameters.

SYNOPSIS
       vzsplit [-n numve] [-f conf_name] [-s swapsize]

DESCRIPTION
       The vzsplit utility is used to split the Hardware Node into equal
       parts.  It generates a full set of system resource control parameters
       for the given number of containers. The values are calculated from the
       total physical memory of the Hardware Node the utility runs on, and the
       number of containers the Hardware Node shall be able to run even if the
       given number of containers consume all the resources available.
       Without any option given, vzsplit prompts for the desired number of
       containers and outputs the resulting resource control parameters to
       stdout.  If there are not enough system resources to run the specified
       number of containers, an appropriate message is shown and the sample
       configuration file is not generated.

OPTIONS
       -n numve
              Specify the number of containers.

       -f conf_name
              Specify the configuration file name. The program output is
              placed to /etc/vz/conf/ve-conf_name.conf-sample.

       -s swapsize
              Specify the swap size in Kbytes. If not provided in the option,
              the swap size will be read from /proc/meminfo.

DIAGNOSTICS
       vzsplit returns 0 upon a sucessful execution. If anything goes wrong,
       it returns 1.
