Hi, I was now able to reproduce and document the steps needed to go from CentOS 7 -> Virtuozzo Linux 7 -> Virtuozzo 7.
You need to install CentOS 7 your prefered way with /vz ext4 partition (I made all partions ext4, as the Virtuozzo 7 Bare Metal installer does). First the steps to convert CentOS 7 (minimal) to Virtuozzo Linux 7 with vzdeploy: cd /root yum install wget wget http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vzlinux/vzdeploy/vzdeploy chmod 700 vzdeploy ./vzdeploy This takes some time and finishes without interaction needed. At the end you'll see: ----- Complete! Installing a trial license... Start activation for code trial... License VZLINUX [*****] was loaded successfully. Calling 0 sh: 0: command not found Subscription completed unsuccessfully Activation completed successfully with product key ***** You can find complete log in /var/log/vzdeploy.log ----- Pavel told me that this licence is only needed for some features, that are only available in the commercial version. As far as I can see, the licence is no longer installed after conversion to Virtuozzo 7 is done. The next step is adding the Virtuozzo 7 repositories to yum. Note that the factory repository is enabled for my test, but with lower priority than the release repository. I need to check what have been the original settings of the bare metal installer before setting up a production system. echo "# These repositories are for internal use by developers only # Enable them on your own risk!!!
