“3 Using OpenVZ
“Before we can create virtual machines with OpenVZ, we need to
have a template for the distribution that we want to use in the
virtual machines in the /var/lib/vz/template/cache directory. The
virtual machines will be created from that template.“Run
“apt-cache search openvz
“In the output you should see some Debian templates, e.g.:
“vzctl-ostmpl-debian-4.0-amd64-minimal – OpenVZ – OS Template
debian-4.0-amd64-minimal
vzctl-ostmpl-debian-4.0-i386-minimal – OpenVZ – OS Template
debian-4.0-i386-minimal
vzctl-ostmpl-debian-5.0-amd64-minimal – OpenVZ – OS Template
debian-5.0-amd64-minimal
vzctl-ostmpl-debian-5.0-i386-minimal – OpenVZ – OS Template
debian-5.0-i386-minimal“Pick the templates that you need and install them as follows
(the amd64 templates are not available on an i386 host):“apt-get install vzctl-ostmpl-debian-5.0-amd64-minimal
vzctl-ostmpl-debian-4.0-amd64-minimal”
