.SH NAME
vzsplit \- generate a sample container configuration file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.SY vzsplit
.OP -n numve
.OP -f conf_name
.OP -s swapsize
.RB [ -v\ yes | no ]
.YS
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBvzsplit\fR 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.
.P
Without any option given, \fBvzsplit\fR prompts for the desired number
of containers and outputs the resulting resource control
parameters to stdout.
.P
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.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI -n \ numve
Specify the number of containers.
.TP
.BI -f \ conf_name
Specify the configuration sample name to write configuration to, instead of
standard output. The file created will be named
/etc/vz/conf/ve-\fIconf_name\fR.conf-sample.
.TP
.BI -s \ swapsize
Specify the swap size in Kbytes. If this option is not given,
the swap size is read from \fB/proc/meminfo\fR.
.TP
.BR -v\ yes | no
Whether to generate VSwap enabled configuration. Default is auto-detect by
checking if running kernel is VSwap capable; this option overrides
auto-detection.

returns 1.
