Installing vzctl and vzquota
In this section, we are going to go over the additional tools that are needed to install the vzkernel. The tools are as follows:
- vzctl: This is an OpenVZ utility tool that allows you to directly interface with the containers. You can use this utility to start, stop, suspend, destroy, and create containers. We will go over this utility and it's usage in more detail in a future chapter.
- vzquota: This is an OpenVZ utility that allows you to configure disk quotas on your server. You can use this utility to initialize, turn quotas on, turn quotas off, set limits, and show quota stats. We will go over this utility and it's usage in more detail in a following chapter.
To install the utilities, you will need to run the following command:
yum install vzctl vzquota
In the previous example, we use the yum command to install the packages for vzctl, vzquota, and ploop on the server.
