How To Install OpenQRM 4.7 With LXC Containers In Debian Squeeze/Lenny

[ Thanks to Falko Timme for this link. ]

"This is a tutorial for installing OpenQRM 4.7 with LXC containers in Debian Lenny which can further be used for installing ISPConfig3 at the container level. OpenQRM 4.7 (http://www.openqrm.com) was released on September 30, 2010 with LXC support. Wonderful product. Videos of this enterprise grade datacenter management framework are available at http://openqrm.com/?q=node/183. I hope that this information is useful to those who are interested. And thanks to Matt and OpenQRM developers for the hard work!

"DISCLAIMER: This is something that worked for me. I do not bear responsibility if something breaks down. You need at least a 100GB for this for basic setup.

"A) INSTALL DEBIAN SQUEEZE (ALSO APPLIES TO LENNY WITH BACKPORT KERNEL)

"A1) Download Debian Squeeze netboot CD from http://debian.org
A2) It will first ask to set up root user password and ask to create a new user. Give the root password twice and create a new user. It will also ask to give the machine's domain and give whatever you like or your tld name.
A3) Create 3 partitions. 512MB (1/2GB) for /boot, 2GB for Swap and rest for /. Format /boot as ext4 and / as LVM. (you can find more info on how to create LVM2 volume online or can just follow the installer guideline)."
