vzctl return code -2

Hi,

I am getting rc code -2 from the vzctl when starting the container. It
seems the issue is with the vps lock. Also I am searching for an
option to start the VPS like --skip-lock with vzctl.

What the the return code -2 from vzctl means ?

What the the best method to start the VPS with a lock file ?

deleting the lock file before starting the VPS is a good option ?

help with install on ubuntu

I know this is a long shot but I thought i'd ask. I tried to do an upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and now the
hardy images do not run correctly which such errors like mountall /proc/self/mountinfo " no such file or
directory". I would like to start using 9.10. 

I've been forced to patch and compile my own vanilla 2.6.27 kernel, however this is obviouslly not a patched
ubuntu kernel and I cant seem to patch the ubuntu kernel with the latest patch. Is it safe to use the vanilla
kernels ? 

What do I do ? 

Is there any plans to support a 2.6.31 kernel in ubuntu 9.10 ?

Why are you using active/active and a cluster-fs???
this makes things more complex than they have to be.

You definitely want to add drbd to your pacemaker setup!

Anyone using KVM with latest OpenVZ RHEL-5 kernel?

Greetings,

I've seen quite a bit of interest in using KVM and OpenVZ together.  Proxmox VE has been doing this for some
time but they use a 2.6.24-based kernel.  Anyone using the latest OpenVZ RHEL5-based kernel and KVM
together.  The OpenVZ/Parallels developers currently haven't tried KVM with OpenVZ as Red Hat releases
KVM as a separate package.

TYL,

We are already testing that kernel for proxmox ve - first test looks promising. Only KSM have problems.

dlm in openvz kernel

Hi,

AS mentioned here

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/pacemaker/5790 7

The dlm for managing the cluster file system like ocfs2 is available
only at > 2.6.26 kernels.

My question is :

Is DLM to manage the cluster file system at user space is available in
openvz kernel ?

If that is no. Then is there any problem in using the openvz patch
with latest kernel. Is there any future problems that may arise ?

Not that I'm aware of.

There is one devel branches > than 2.6.26 (2.6.27) that you could try.  See:

LXC in Fedora 12?

Greetings,

Just ran across this and I thought some might find it interesting:

http://berrange.com/personal/diary/2009/12/using-cgroups-with-libvirt-and-lxckvm

>From what I can tell OpenVZ is still heads and shoulders more advanced than LXC but it is nice to see that
Fedora (aka their sponsor Red Hat) might be showing some interested in containers... and maybe we'll see
more related features in Fedora 13.

A lot of this namespace code was submitted into the mainline kernel by
OpenVZ developers, so in a way they helped enable this. On the other hand
the troubling bit for OpenVZ users may be the apparently missing link on
this end - scarce movement in OpenVZ itself to adjust to these new
interfaces in new kernels, we're stuck on 2.6.27 (or even 2.6.18)...

highavailability means that second reserve node always standby. (I.e. 
master-slave).
When failure occurs on first master node, heartbeart starts standby node 
as a master.
