Chapter 1. Installing OpenVZ

In this chapter, we are going to explain what OpenVZ is and the system requirements we need to install OpenVZ on our system. Then we are going to walk through configuring yum to use the OpenVZ repo and install the vzkernel.

Finally, we are going to talk about installing additional packages to help manage containers on the node—vzctl to create, configure, and remove containers and vzquota to manage quotas.
