RHEL 5.3? 5.6 is the current version in the 5 series. You might want to consider upgrading. > As a first step, I am planning to install the base OS on a fresh > hardware and create a /vz partition. I believe that is the only > pre-req for working with OpenVZ - right? That isn't strictly required but it is recommended. There is a fine Quick Install guide (http://wiki.openvz.org/Quick_installation) that you can find on the front page of the openvz.org site. There is also a HOWTO page on the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/OpenVZ). The Users Guide (http://download.openvz.org/doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf) is a bit dated but good too. The installation is actually quite easy. Make sure SELinux is off. Add the openvz repo. Install the ovzkernel. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf. Reboot to the ovzkernel. Install the vzctl and vzquota. Download some OS Templates to /vz/template/cache/. Create some containers.
