So we created one.
  • changing container VEID (works on running or stopped CT - and also handles quota file rewriting - so no quota reinitialization needed!)
  • cloning a container (works on stopped CT only)
  • moving or copying container into another storage endpoint (works on stopped CT only)
    • We chose to mimic Virtozzo's vzmlocal utility as closely as we could - eg OpenNode vzmlocal arguments list...]]>     Fri, 10 May 2013 23:34:00 +0300     OpenNode OS 6 Update 2 released! http://opennode.activesys.org/article/opennode-6-update-2-beta1-iso-installer-release/ This stable OS release has been rebased to CentOS 6.4 and includes numerous updated packages that provide some new features as well. https://sourceforge.net/projects/opennode/files/OpenNode_6_Update_2/ Release highlights:
    • Rebased to CentOS 6.4 release (newer qemu/kvm, libvirt, etc) - please see RHEL/CentOS 6.4 release notes:  Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:24:00 +0300 CentOS 6.4 release and temporary yum update problem http://opennode.activesys.org/article/centos-64-release-and-opennode-yum-update-problem/ CentOS 6.4 got released and as OpenNode uses CentOS base yum repositories but blocks CentOS libvirt package update - that breaks simple 'yum update' system upgrade at the moment.

Migration of OMS to Saltstack
http://opennode.activesys.org/article/migration-of-oms-to-saltstack/
We have recently migrated OMS from Fedora Func to Saltstack and, unfortunately, extra work is required for migration.

    • Switch to OpenNode test repository by editing '/etc/yum.repos.d/opennode.repo' and running 'yum install opennode-tui'.
    • Resync and redeploy OMS VM.
    • Rerun OMS registration  from HNs using the same process as before.
      • 
Thanks and sorry for the extra work.
